It is understandable that Ed Rollins didn't want reporters to hear his deposition today on his own allegation that New Jersey Republicans handed out cash to suppress voting by blacks. But his bashfulness offends the public interest in this case, which he alone brought to public attention. Mr. Rollins managed Christine Todd Whitman's gubernatorial campaign. In the wake of her narrow victory, he boasted to reporters that black ministers and Democratic campaign workers were paid to keep the black vote down. His subsequent retraction only fed the furious reaction.

The Enserch Corporation said yesterday that it had agreed to sell its Ebasco Services unit to the engineering subsidiary of the Raytheon Company for about $210 million. Completion of the sale is expected by the end of the year. The sale price, however, is well below the $350 million some analysts had predicted Enserch would raise by selling the construction operations. Enserch, an integrated natural gas producer based in Dallas, has been trying to sell Ebasco for most of this year. Under the terms of the sale, Raytheon Engineers and Constructors will receive all of Ebasco's engineering and construction operations. Ebasco designs and builds heavy construction projects like highways and nuclear power plants. Proceeds from the sale will go to reduce Enserch's $1 billion in long-term debt.

The Intel Corporation moved to stop the retrial of its copyright violation case against Advanced Micro Devices Inc., saying new evidence showed a 1992 jury verdict in Intel's favor should stand. Federal Judge William Ingram set that verdict aside after Advanced Micro Devices argued that Intel had withheld material evidence. At issue is whether a 17-year-old agreement gave Advanced Micro Devices the right to copy Intel's microcode, the basic programming in the central processing units of most personal computers.
