Buffalo, Texas will be known as Blue Star until after Sunday's Su per Bowl rematch between the Cowboys and Bills, Mayor Byron Ryder declared Monday. “We felt like we needed to do this because we pulled the Cow boys through to win last year," Ry der said. There are no Bills fans in Buffa lo to push around this year. High school basketball coach George Chaika, a Buffalo, N.Y., native, has moved to Warren, about 100 miles northeast of Houston, since the Cowboys' 52-17 victory last year. Blue Star's transformation start ed less than 24 hours after Dallas beat San Francisco 38-17 for the NFC Championship, Ryder said. Residents were busy first thing Monday, constructing the large blue star to be posted in the town's main intersection. Smaller stars were to cover any sign of Buffalo in the tiny Texas town. Last year, vendors hawked T- shirts and hats emblazoned with the temporary name, and restau rant menus were beefed up> with special dishes dedicated to Dallas, about 100 miles to the north. Ryder had hoped the Houston Oilers, who bowed out of the play offs early for the seventh straight year, would be involved in the name-change this time. Buffalo is about halfway between the two largest Texas cities.

I )le, most oil /iattsaidl iatt/Paff The Battau ' x, camel ice in n Abortion Continued from Page 1 federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations legislation, called RICO. The decision means: • Anti-abortion groups and in dividuals sued successfully over their conduct can be forced to pay tripled damages. The NOW law suit alleges criminal violations dating back to 1982. • The leaders of anti-abortion groups may be sued successfully as conspirators, even if they are not physically present when ille gal conduct occurs. • Federal judges may invoke RICO to issue injunctions against anti-abortion activities. The court last year ruled abor tion clinic operators cannot in voke the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871 in suing those who block women's access to abortion clin ics. That ruling led to an effort in Congress to provide more federal protection for women seeking abortions. The House and Senate have passed separate versions of the Freedom of Access to Clinics Act, and the legislation will be be fore a conference committee when Congress reconvenes. The court's new decision falls far short of resolving all legal is sues surrounding anti-abortion activities. Just last Friday, the jus tices agreed to clarify how far courts and local governments may go in restricting protesters outside clinics. That case, to be decided by July, pits the free-speech rights of protesters against the rights of women seeking abortions and of abortion clinic employees to be free from harassment, intimida tion or other illegal conduct. Anti-abortion leaders, such as Terry, call themselves civil rights activists and distance themselves from those responsible for such vi olent acts as the killing of Dr. David Gunn outside a Pensacola, Fla., clinic last year. Monday's decision was hard ly surprising. The court consis tently has refused to narrow how the broadly worded RICO law is applied. Enacted in 1970, RICO was aimed at organized crime. But increasingly it is used in lawsuits involving just about any busi ness dispute. Writing for the court. Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist said RICO can be invoked even when the alleged crimes have no eco nomic motive. RICO makes it a crime for "any person employed or associated with any enterprise in ... interstate or foreign commerce ... to partici pate in a pattern of racketeering activity," Rehnquist wrote. In another action Monday, the court refused to use a case from Michigan to rein in the fees air ports charge airlines for using runways, passenger terminals and other services. Those fees topped $3 billion in 1991.
