REFORMER OF CITY JAILS
Date: 07 November 1983
By David Margolick

During a hearing on sanitary conditions in New York City's Tombs jail in the mid-1970's, Judge Morris E. Lasker was approached by an inmate holding what he contended was a mouse, found in a bowl of soup. The judge, who had grown accustomed to hearing such complaints, was not fazed. He nonchalantly placed the evidence in a bag, put it in his pocket and took it to a mammologist at the American Museum of Natural History for analysis. It turned out to be a piece of beef. The incident is characteristic first of the conscientiousness that has become Judge Lasker's hallmark in his 15 years on the bench of Federal District Court in Manhattan - a reputation that recently led American Lawyer magazine to call him the best of the 59 trial judges in the judicial circuit comprising New York, Connecticut and Vermont. More important, it reflects the judge's continuing involvement with the issue of prison conditions in the New York area. In the last decade perhaps no other judge in America has become so closely linked with prison conditions and prisoners' rights as Judge Lasker. In that time few, if any, governors, mayors or correction commissioners have had so marked an impact on local prison conditions.

GRENADIANS WELCOMED INVASION, A POLL FINDS

An overwhelming majority of the people of Grenada welcomed the United States invasion of their island, according to a poll conducted Thursday by CBS News. They felt that American troops had come to free them from the Cubans and prevent the construction of a military base. The poll showed that a smaller but solid majority said they had felt in danger under the Government of Gen. Hudson Austin, who seized power last month. Another solid majority said they believed that Cubans were building the island's new airport for Cuban and Soviet military purposes, not for economic development or tourism.

Gen. John W. Vessey Jr., Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said yesterday that he would create a panel of officers and journalists to review the news restrictions imposed in the initial days of the Grenada invasion and to suggest rules for press coverage of military actions. General Vessey approved the Grenada restrictions during planning sessions before the invasion. The panel is to be headed by Winant Sidle, the director of public relations for the Martin Marietta Corporation and former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs. Mr. Sidle said he hoped the panel could establish guidelines agreeable both to the Government and the press ''that fulfill the requirements of the First Amendment and of military security.''

IN WAKE OF INVASION, MUCH OFFICIAL MISINFORMATION BY U.S. COMES TO LIGHT
Date: 06 November 1983
By Stuart Taylor Jr

In the aftermath of last week's invasion of Grenada, it has become clear that Reagan Administration officials and military authorities disseminated much inaccurate information and many unproven assertions. They did so while withholding significant facts and impeding efforts by the journalists to verify official statements. This picture has emerged from a review of initial statements made by Administration officials about the invasion in light of evidence that emerged later, including subsequent official statements that contradicted earlier ones. Some misleading official statements apparently grew out of inadvertent errors in the confusion of a combat situation. Others appear to have involved selective and incomplete reporting of events and assertions designed to put Administration actions in a favorable light. But some apparently involved deliberate distortions and knowingly false statements of fact.

Gen. John W. Vessey Jr., Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said today that he hoped United States forces would be withdrawn from Grenada by Thanksgiving. During a televised interview, General Vessey also said he wanted United States forces withdrawn from Lebanon as soon as possible. ''We would like to get them out as quickly as possible, but our Government has set a mission there,'' the General said. In addition, the nation's top military officer said that he personally favored retaliating against the terrorists who mounted the suicide truck bombing that took the lives of more than 230 marines, sailors and soliders in Beirut two weeks ago.

REAGAN'S TRIP TO JAPAN: TIES REMAIN STRONG
Date: 07 November 1983
By Clyde Haberman, Special To the New York Times

News Analysis TOKYO, Nov. 6 - President Reagan's scheduled arrival here Wednesday for a three-day visit comes at a time when Japanese seem uncertain whether they are on good or bad terms with the United States. If they wished, Mr. Reagan and Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone could find plenty to talk about to make them mutually unhappy. Japan still does not spend enough on defense to satisfy many Americans, two-way trade is likely to produce a $23 billion deficit for the United States this year and continued high unemployment has left some Americans with the notion that the Japanese are responsible for many of their troubles. There is grousing, too, on this side of the Pacific, mostly out of conviction that every time something goes wrong in the United States, Japan is made a scapegoat. The sense that this country tends to be picked on unfairly is sufficiently engrained for a new word to have cropped up in some circles here: ''goatability.'' It is used only partly in jest.

Former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Gerald R. Ford said today that the United States should avoid military retaliation at this time for the suicide bombing attack that killed more than 230 Marines two weeks ago in Beirut. ''We should keep our cool, we should not lash out in some reckless military action,'' Mr. Ford said. Mr. Carter agreed, warning that such action could be ''counterproductive'' to the talks among Lebanon's Government and rival factions on national reconciliation that are now recessed in Geneva.
