Baseball labor woes may move onto the gridiron; U.S. Supreme Court hears case that could shield other league sports from antitrust attack. Hollywood shudders

Article Abstract:

Sports lawyers fear Brown v Pro Football Inc could spread the labor woes under which baseball labors into football, perhaps hockey and basketball, and conceivably such other industries as Hollywood. The US Supreme Court heard arguments in Brown on Mar 27 after the US Circuit Court for DC threw out a jury award in favor of football players whose teams unilaterally imposed on them in 1989 salaries of about 25% the level paid in 1988. The case involves conflict between the antitrust Sherman Act and the National Labor Relations Act.

Mr. Hyde's other side: principles, not power

Article Abstract:

Henry Hyde has become the first Republican chairman of the House Judiciary Committee in 40 years. Hyde is also known as a foreign affairs expert, a gifted writer and speaker and a legislator attentive to the needs of his largely middle-class, white conservative constituents. Hyde's conservatism seems most rigid in his anti-abortion views. He has sided with liberals on other matters including family leave and gun control.

Supremes may get other affirmative action cases

Article Abstract:

The US Supreme Court's settlement of Piscataway Township Board of Education v. Taxman may only be a prelude to other affirmative action cases the court will hear, as conservative legal groups are making a concerted attack on the practice through litigation, and they maintain such success that the outcome of Piscataway will hardly be noticed. Adarand Constructors Inc., v. Pena may reach the court as early as 1998.
