During the two-day trial, crusty Federal Judge Oren Lewis sided with the CIA. He denied a defense motion for a jury trial, saying there were no facts to settle. He lectured Snepp about his having no right to reveal classified material. When reminded that the case involved no classified material, the judge accused the defense of "dealing in semantics." Lewis' judgment, which Snepp intends to appeal: "I think it was a willful, deliberate and surreptitious breach of contract and the highest public trust.

Called the Hudson River White Water Derby, the two-day event, which ended last week, is really a springtime happening that has been occurring with growing success for 21 years in North Creek. Canoeing or kayaking over treacherous courses has developed into a highly skilled and ruthlessly competitive sport -one that is included on the Olympic schedules-but the races at North Creek are refreshingly informal. Many of the contestants are old friends who have been watching each other capsize or ram into rocks for years. They treat the derby as a kind of giant family reunion. This time some...
