U.S. COURT REINSTATES LIBEL SUIT AGAINST A.P.

Date: 31 October 1982

By Arnold H. Lubasch

A Federal appeals court has reinstated a libel suit about an Associated Press story that named a Pennsylvania lawyer among individuals ''with alleged mob ties.'' The case focuses on whether the lawyer should be considered a public official, when the A.P. story did not mention that he held the post of Borough Solicitor, and whether the news agency had relied on official records in referring to organized crime. Charles J. Bufalino Jr., a lawyer and Borough Solicitor in West Pittston, Pa., sued the A.P. for $400,000, charging that it had defamed him by linking him to organized crime. A District Court in Manhattan had dismissed the suit, ruling that the Borough Solicitor was a public official and that the A.P. had fairly reported official records. But the ruling was reversed last week by the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.

WHO LAUGHS LAST?

My nose, eyes and mouth dissolve into a single, rubbery oval that drools over what - only seconds ago - were my neck and shoulders. It is precisely three decades ago, and a national holiday - what we Argentines call El Dia de la Raza - and I am in that dreadful place El Palacio de la Risa (The Palace of Laughter) in Buenos Aires. The walls, floor and ceiling of this funhouse are covered with hundreds of convex and concave mirrors that ricochet my mangled image into infinity. All around me I hear laughter and, at first, things seem as they should be. The fat man in the dark suit, the dandy with his cane, the stocky woman with the ostrich-feather hat, the gawky newsboy in his tattered coat - they all stagger with laughter at the images surrounding them.

NEW JERSEY JOURNAL

IN 1975, planners proposed linking the Wanaque Reservoir in Passaic County with the Oradell Reservoir in Bergen County to correct deficiencies in the supplies of the Hackensack Water Company and the North Jersey District Water Supply Commission, which serves many Northern New Jersey communities. The 17-mile route of the interconnecting pipeline takes it from Pompton Lakes to Oradell by way of several residential towns. Construction has proceeded as far as Franklin Lakes, but the residents of Ridgewood, which stands in the way, are trying to block the project from going through their community. At first, the Hackensack Water Company had planned to lay the 48-inch pipeline under Linwood Avenue, a busy commercial strip. When Ridgewood objected, the company proposed an alternative route along Spring Avenue, one that would take the pipeline through a mostly residential section of the village.

Seven years after the death of Francisco Franco, Spain's young democratic experiment has completely broken with the dictator's authoritarian legacy. The parliamentary election Thursday that brought the Socialists to power ravaged both the centrist coalition that won minority victories in 1977 and 1979 and the demoralized Communist Party. With 46 percent of the popular vote, 16.6 percent more than in 1979, the Socialists have a solid majority in the Parliament and a convincing mandate to govern Spain. Aside from being a personal triumph for the Socialists' leader, Felipe Gonzalez, the vote was a vindication for those, notably King Juan Carlos, who believed that a gradual change in Franco's political institutions could lead to the peaceful alternation of power that is the hallmark of democracy.

When a Long Island Rail Road crew discovered two hidden voiceactivated tape recorders aboard its train in December 1981, the railroad defended the bugging as legal, the United Transportation Union called it ''Gestapo tactics'' and illegal, and the Nassau County District Attorney's office said it was investigating what might be a felony. The railroad said it had resorted to bugging because some train workers were broadcasting ''religious, racial and ethnic slurs'' over train radios.
