Court upholds regional phone restrictions
A federal appeals court in Washington DC upheld restrictions on how regional Bell telephone companies provide electronic publishing services such as sports scores and stock quotes. The 2-1 ruling rejects BellSouth's bill of attainder argument and supports the 1996 rules guiding regional Bells into long distance business under a separate subsidiary.

Gore pushes vest aid to aid police
President Clinton will sign a law to finance bulletproof vests for cash strapped local police departments. Gore told officers and relatives at a Capitol memorial service that 25 million dollars in Senate approved grants will go to departments with under 100,000 people, with local matching required.
