Paper to pay
“The Observer,” a British Sunday newspaper, must pay substantial damages to a former C.I.A. official, David Phillips, for having suggested that he might have been implicated in the assassination of President John Kennedy in 1963, a London court has ruled. Mr Phillips’ lawyer said articles published by "The Observer” in May, 1980, had suggested that his client was implicated in a plot behind the president’s assassination. The articles were reprinted in “The South China Morning Post,” in Hong Kong. He said Mr Phillips had, proven his innocence in U.S. congressional inquests in 1975 and 1979. “The Observer” did not specify the amount of the damages, describing the sum merely as “substantial.”—London.
