It notes possible arbitration by Judge Calhoun and a formal international tribunal to settle disputes affecting U.S. taxpayers and national interests.

Curious libel suit ends after Supreme Court reversal
The Nashville American notes a libel suit against the New Orleans Picayune was withdrawn after the Supreme Court reversed an earlier ruling. The suit, by four physicians, claimed praise of a surgeon's skill was defamatory, arguing the laudatory article framed him as a quack. The court held praise can be actionable in rare cases, suggesting the doctor could still seek remedy if words lose their grace.
