Buffalo changes
name to Blue Star
to honor Cowboys
The Associated Press
Tubularman
By Boomer Cardinale
BUFFALO — What has become
the most unfortunately named
Texas town during Super Bowl
week is abandoning its moniker
again this year in support of the
Dallas Cowboys.
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.

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.
