Public relations people in New York who dislike scheduling a Monday morning news conference for fear that few print and broadcast media would attend, should take a look at the throng outside Manhattan Criminal Court building yesterday when ex-International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn arrived, suggests Grumpy Editor.
Despite the early morning hour, still and television cameras, along with microphone booms, swarmed both sides of the entrance as DSK, as he is labeled by headline writers, walked from a black SUV to the entrance.

On the inside, Strauss-Kahn --- who had been considered a potential contender in next year’s French presidential elections --- pleaded not guilty to sexually assaulting and trying to rape a 32-year-old maid at the Sofitel near Times Square on May 14.
His next New York court date was set for July 18.
Memo to PR folks:
Yes, it’s on a Monday morning.
