The United States ordered the expulsion Tuesday of 21 Nica
raguan consular officials and the closing of all six Nicaraguan
consulates in this country in retaliation for the ejection Mon
day of three U.S. diplomats in Managua.
The State Department said that "an important reason and
additional consideration' for the expulsions "was the Nicara
guan government's use of its consulates for intelligence opera
tions." Officials declined to elaborate on the espionage accu
sation. ,
The expulsions came one day after Nicaragua announced it
was deporting three State Department representatives accused
of subversion. Among the accusations were charges of assassi
nation plots and spying. .
The State Departaient has denied the charges.
The back-to-back expulsions brought the already strained
relations between the two nations to their lowest point since
the Sandinistas seized power in 1979. .
However, the State Department said that special envoy
Richard B. Stone would proceed with a planned visit to Nica
ragua Friday.
Stone, needing more than a little luck, is visiting all Central
American nations in hopes of the possibility of a negotiated
settlement to the region's problems.
60 Minute Acquittal
CBS, 60 Minutes and anchorman Dan Rather did not slan
der a California doctor who sued them for $30.million over a
1979 report linking him to insurance fraud, a jury decided
Monday.
The verdict ended a three-week trial that received extraordi
nary attention from the press for both the First Amendment
issues and the celebrity of the defendants involved.
Dr. Carl A. Galloway lost his suit against CBS for damages
to his personal and professional reputation when the jury
voted for CBS. ; '
Galloway said after the verdict, "I think incompetence has
been vindicated," and that he felt "like David up against
Goliath."
Galloway's attorney had argued in his closing arguments
that 60 Minutes, the most successful news broadcast in history,
was just a "soap opera" staged for viewer entertainment.
But CBS argued that by awarding Galloway even a dollar,
the jury would signal its willingness to restrain a free press.
Drinking Woes
In Raleigh last Thursday, the General Assembly approved,
after five months of haggling between legislators, new driving-while-impaired
legislation to go into effect Oct. 1.
THE WEEK IN REVIEW
The bill, claimed by many to be one of the nation's toughest,
was the centerpiece of Gov. Jim Hunt's legislative efforts for
this session of the General Assembly.
The new law includes sections to raise the drinking age for
beer and wine from 18 to 19 and stricter, more thorough rules
to handle drunken driving in the state.
The bill also contains a watered-down version of Hunt's
original dramshop proposal that would only make bars liable
for accidents incurred by minors to whom they had sold alco
hol. Already the bill is being praised and attacked.
Opponents, including the N.C. Restaurant Association,
have said they will continue to lobby for changes in the bill,
especially in the liability sections.
Student Legal Services Director Dorothy Bernholz said that
how the judges enforce and try DWI cases will depend a lot on
community sentiment.
She added that with the current crackdown on student drink
ing in Chapel Hill, 'fit will be interesting to see what happens
when the alumni come to town on football Saturdays, drink
ing and tailgating."
Who's suing whom?
The Carolina Concert for Children may have ended with a
fizzle in April, but controversy surrounding the concert and its
management is far from over.
Last week Campus Governing Council member Rebel Cole
(district 4) announced he plans to sue concert Chairman Ben
Lee for mismanagement of the concert.
Cole says Lee neglected his entrusted duties and violated
conditions set down by the CGC in extending the deadline for
the date to sign bands for the concert. .
' Cole said the- committee was supposed to consider buying
rain insurance and that Lee promised it would buy it.
Dwain Wilson, chairman of the Band Selection Advisory
Committee, said the committee did consider purchasing the in
surance, but never at a formal meeting.
'Lee, at his home in Ohio, declined to comment on the issue.
A central issue in Cole's arguments is that students have no
business running a concert. Perhaps he should sue the CGC
for negligence in appropriating funds to do just. that.
Or perhaps the students should join in suit against the CGC
including Cole.
' Let's see, who's next? .
