Coalition director Teresa Ulloa told The Associated Press that a movie adaptation of the Colombian author's novel would promote pedophilia and be accessible to a wider audience. "As a book, it does not have access to the most vulnerable people in society," she said. "Once they make the movie, it will be in movie theaters and later it will surely be on tele­ vision." The Attorney General's Office did not immediately respond to requests for infor­ mation on the lawsuit. The film's co-director and producer, Ricardo del Rio, told Mexico's Heforma newspaper in an interview published Tuesday the lawsuit's claims were inaccurate and unfair. "They are censoring a film before it's been made, without knowing either the script or the vision of the director," he said. He told Heforma that film­ ing, scheduled to begin in late Octobe~ had been postponed because government officials in the Mexican state of Puebla had decided to withdraw funding for the movie in light of the lawsuit. Puebla's government said in a statement released Tuesday would not help fund the $8 million film. Del Hio said producers had picked a 21-year-old actress, Ana de Armas, for the movie part, and that the character's age would not be dealt with in the film. "Here they have simply killed our adaptation. They have dealt us a fatal blow because we can't film without all the resources," he said. Representatives of Memorias del Sabio Producciones, listed as the producer of the movie on a Mexican government Web site, said filming has been delayed but did not provide further reactions to the law­ suit.

"This is what you come here for, to get that opportunity to get to win a championship," Sabathia said Tuesday after a workout at Yankee Stadium. "We had a great year so far. We just have to keep it going." Sabathia joined the Yankees as a free agent last December SCARIER: and signed a huge contract to match his 6-foot-7, 290-pound frame. His seven-year deal was part of a $423.5 million spend­ ing spree that also brought Mark Teixeira and A.J. Burnett to New York. With those dollars come extra-large expectations - and plenty of pressure. Back in the playoffs after a one-year hiatus, Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera and the Yankees are favorites ' to win their 27th World Series title and first since 2000. It won't be easy if Sabathia flops in October again. ''I'm definitely excited. But like, I said this earlier, the opening day with the new Yankee Stadium and me being the free agent and the games against Boston, there and in here, I think all of those moments have helped me to prepare and led me up to this moment," Sabathia said.
