NEW YORK — Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole and police officials laid some of the blame on Hollywood for the burning of a subway token booth that critically injured the clerk and resembled scenes in a new movie.
However, there have been at least nine similar attacks in the past five years, long before "Money Train" opened during the weekend, transit Chief Kenneth Donohue said.

A statement from Columbia Pictures, which released the film, said its makers were appalled and dismayed by the fire. But a Columbia representative, Ed Russell, wouldn't comment about whether the studi o acknowledged a possible connection.
In a statement Monday, Snipes said, "My prayers are with Harry Kaufman and his family." Harelson said that he was sure that the movie had not created the mentality of the men who had perpetrated the crime.
