COMA TRIAL: AFTER HOOPLA

Date: 12 June 1985

By Alex S. Jones, Special To the New York Times

In the news media center here, amid a litter of discarded newspapers and abandoned coffee cups, reporters who covered the two-month trial of Claus von Bulow reflected today on what most regard as a very peculiar experience. For most of them, the end of the trial has brought a mixture of the melancholy that comes for reporters at the end of a particularly dramatic news event, and a sense that they have been part of what many describe as a circus. ''It's been very zooy here,'' said Alan Rosenberg, a reporter for The Boston Herald who is writing a book about the trial, which offered a sultry mixture of money, sex and society that made much of the coverage sound like an account of an extra-tawdry television miniseries. Mr. von Bulow was acquitted Monday of attempting to murder his wife, and, consistent with the frenzy the trial has aroused, television stations all over New England interrupted their regular programming for a live report on the jury's decision. Some 200 journalists converged on Providence for the climactic moment, and the event attracted reporters from Denmark, Ireland and Britain as well as from across the United States. About 25 news organizations covered the trial from beginning to end.

Publisher Is Elated By S.E.C. Victory

Date: 12 June 1985

By Kenneth N. Gilpin and Todd S. Purdum

Kenneth Gilpin

Christopher L. Lowe freely admits he is a convicted felon, found guilty of kiting checks and tampering with evidence related to his handling of an investment client's funds. Three years ago, he says, he served four months in jail. But on Monday the Supreme Court ruled, 8 to 0, that Mr. Lowe's past misconduct did not give the Securities and Exchange Commission authority to block him from publishing an investment newsletter. The decision overturned an appeals court ruling, and was seen as a significant setback for the S.E.C.'s recent efforts to regulate specialized publications that offer stock market advice.

IN NORTH KOREA: POLEMICS OF PAST DISCARDED

Date: 13 June 1985

By John F. Burns, Special To the New York Times

John Burns

As the train from China crosses the Yalu River, there is no mistaking the legacy of war. A hundred yards downstream stands a second bridge, with all six supports on the North Korean side of the river missing, blown away by American bombing. Nearly 32 years after the armistice that ended the Korean War, the first thing a traveler sees on arrival in this tightly sealed nation is a reminder of the destruction wrought by American forces under Gen. Douglas A. MacArthur. In October 1950 United States troops approached within a few miles of the Yalu, prompting the Chinese to enter the war. The evidence is even starker where the express from Peking halts, beside a red-and-white barrier manned by a soldier in the olive green uniform of North Korea's army. Between the shoreline and the first of the concrete bridge pontoons is a tangled mass of rusted steel. On shore, workmen are busy clearing it away for scrap.

United Press International has proposed a wage freeze and benefit cuts that company officials say would save millions of dollars and help assure the news agency's survival. A union official has denounced the proposal as ''ultimate hardball.'' In what appeared to be a showdown, the Wire Service Guild yesterday called for ''coast-to-coast informational picketing'' at U.P.I.'s facilities at today's lunch break to protest the cuts, according to Dan Carmichael, the secretary-treasurer of the guild, which is a local of the Newspaper Guild. The union represents about half of U.P.I.'s employees worldwide but nearly all of its domestic employees, including reporters, editors and photographers.
