Court libel ruling will benefit media
The Supreme Court in a 6-3 decision eases pre trial dismissal for libel suits involving public figures, reversing Scalia's 1984 stance. Media lawyers call it a boon for press defense, while Liberty Lobby and Carto pledge ongoing action against Anderson and The Investigator. A separate 5-4 ruling revived a United Auto Workers suit seeking unemployment benefits for 73 000 members.

Reagan wins Contra aid vote in House action
The House approved 221 to 209 a $100 million Contra aid package for Nicaragua, sending it to the Senate as part of a larger military aid and regional assistance bill. The plan, split into installments, would open limited military support to the Contras and include $300 million for Central American democracies.
