That will end what civil rights groups regard as a four-year hamstringing of enforcement of the laws barring discrimination on the basis of race, sex, age or handicap. In its 1984 Grove City College v. Bell decision, the Supreme Court ruled that those laws were not intended to apply to entire institutions that receive federal aid, such as colleges, hospitals and corporations, but only to particular programs.

Legislators howled that the court...

Some executives dispute such interpretations of the Government data. GE argues that it would still rank as the patent leader if the Government had included patents granted to R.C.A., which GE acquired in 1986. Arno Penzias, vice president of research at AT&T Bell Laboratories and a Nobel laureate, says patents are not a reliable measure of basic research.
