...Times vs. Sullivan. The dispute involved a political advertisement, critical of Alabama law enforcement and containing inconsequential errors of fact, that appeared in the Times during the black struggle for civil rights. Several officials, who were mentioned in the ad by function although not by name, sued, ostensibly to recoup their reputations. In fact, the Times' daily circulation in Alabama was then some 400 copies, out of a total circulation of 650,000, and the suits were clearly intended to discourage the national news media from covering the turmoil in the South.

Last week the winemakers could at least take consolation from the misfortunes of one of their rivals. A plague of rain and clouds afflicted growers in France as they neared harvest time, portending an undistinguished crop...
Federal regulators, who have been forced to pump loans worth more than $2 billion into F.C.A. since July to offset withdrawals by jittery depositors, are angry about the parting payment and are said to be pressing F.C.A.'s board to recoup the cash. That, however, will not be easy. Knapp arranged for the $2 million to be deposited in a foreign account. The money is probably beyond the Breach of U.S. authorities and F.C.A. share; holders. While Government regulators back home seek new ways to keep F.C.A. afloat, notably by backing the company's plan to sell...
