The defense in the World Trade Center bombing case is undergoing an extensive reshuffling, with several of the original lawyers either replaced or seeking to be removed from what promises to be one of the most highly publicized trials ever held in a Federal courtroom in Manhattan. The shifts follow an order by Judge Kevin T. Duffy forbidding both the prosecution and the defense from discussing any evidence with news organizations. They come as both sides prepare for the preliminary legal jockeying involving evidence in a trial that is scheduled to begin in September.

Journalists like to think of themselves as advocates for the dispossessed, friends of the little guy, but the feeling is not necessarily mutual. Most of the little guys I've met are not looking for affection or support from reporters. Their first request tends to be more specific: "How much you pay me to talk?"

It was only 11 A.M., but already the New York press corps was working on the day's seventh photo opportunity of Joey and Mary Jo Buttafuoco walking somewhere. "Don't push in, please!" Capt. Bob Smith, a court officer, pleaded with the press from the top of the Nassau County courthouse steps here. "I don't want anyone hurt." He'd said this 100 times, and of course, the instant the Buttafuocos walked somewhere, everyone pushed in. Journalists had arrived in Massapequa at 7 A.M. on Thursday to catch the Buttafuocos walking from their house to their car. "Joey came out at about 8:10 or 8:15 -- I wasn't really looking at my watch," said Mike Alexander of The Associated Press. "I kept the camera on him, moving toward him slowly. He was putting a duffel in the trunk. I try not to be too intrusive.

FORTY years after the little box became omnipresent in America, newspapers are still worried about "Competing With Television," which is the title of a new report by the Future of Newspapers Committee of the American Society of Newspaper Editors. More or less its message about the medium is, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. The report urges newspapers to, finally, reflect in their pages the impact of television on newspaper readers.
