CIA lowers estimates of Soviet nuclear yields
CIA officials say new procedures reduce projected yields for large Soviet tests by about 20 percent after Casey approved the change in January. The shift, opposed by some in Defense, questions past claims of Soviet treaty violations and affects views on a possible arms control summit with Reagan. Kornienko says a summit must yield a specific arms pact, whether in Washington or Europe.

Supreme Court narrows use of crime confessions after requests for counsel
The court, in a 6-3 decision, barred police from interrogating suspects who have asked for a lawyer at arraignment or later court proceedings. The ruling, building on Miranda, holds that any waiver after counsel is requested is invalid. An 8-1 decision limited public bodies from pressuring private labor disputes by withholding franchise awards, finding Los Angeles violated federal labor law in 1980 by tying taxi franchise to a labor dispute settlement.
