...appeals judge, Scalia has been almost gratuitously antipress. He dissented from an opinion by his rival for the high court, Judge Bork, that threw out a suit by Bertell Ollman, a New York University professor who had been vilified as a Marxist by Columnists Rowland Evans and Robert Novak. Bork held that the column was merely opinion and thus protected speech; Scalia argued that it was "a coolly crafted libel."

Among the new names mentioned by the player-witnesses last week were former Pirate Pitchers Eddie Solomon and Manny Sarmiento, as well as Montreal Expo Outfielder Tim Raines and onetime Outfielder Rowland Office.

In his 37-page concurring opinion Bork suggested that the courts ought to be stricter about the rash of libel suits.
