-------------------------------------------------



Victims of phone hacking at Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. say the media
giant has acknowledged a cover-up of its illegal activity through
destroying evidence and lying to investigators. The admission was made
as part of financial settlements between News Corp. and 19 victims. They
include the actor Jude Law, who will reportedly receive $200,000.
