Boston court limits religious instruction by divorced father
The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court upheld a probate ruling barring Jeffrey P. Kendall from church attendance or Sunday school for his two children. Kendall, a member of the fundamentalist Boston Church of Christ, clashed with his Orthodox Jewish ex-wife Barbara Kendall who raises the children, ages four and nine, in the Jewish faith. The court called the issue a close question but affirmed state and federal authority to limit liberties for compelling interests.

AMA bans endorsements to repair image in Sunbeam affair
The American Medical Association voted to end product endorsements and formed a committee to probe how the Sunbeam deal occurred. Board officials say lower-level executives arranged it without awareness, as Sunbeam humidifiers and monitors were to carry an AMA seal of approval in a lucrative but contested five year contract that led to a $20 million lawsuit after the revocation.

Reno Defends Decision Not To Seek Independent Counsel
Attorney General Janet Reno faced sharp House Republican criticism over her choice not to appoint an independent counsel to probe fund raising by Clinton and Gore. She refused to reveal discussions with FBI Director Louis Freeh and both declined to disclose the memo supporting the independent counsel question. Rep. Burton pressed for contempt action, but took no formal step as Freeh testified that his advice should remain confidential to protect investigations and future relations between agencies.

House Republicans claim evidence links Vice President Al Gore to a tribal casino decision under federal probe, noting a date book entry and lobbying records show a lobbyist who opposed the Wisconsin casino met Gore advisers. No proof of Gore or staff influence is offered. Reno's calm in marathon testimony undercuts GOP attacks as she defends pursuing facts in campaign finance cases.
