.^Th^^award stunned some be-
ause it*appeared to open a new
ne of legal attack against the news
media and hidden-camera journal
ism that did not center on the ve
racity of the story.
The appeals court disagreed
with the jury’s finding that ABC en
gaged in a business deception in vi
olation of the North Carolina Un
fair and Deceptive Thade Practices
Act (UTPA).
“However, the deception did not
harm the consuming public,” the
opinion by Judge M. Blaine Michael
read. “Presumably, ABC intended to
benefit the consuming public by let
ting it know about Food Lion’s food
handling practices.
"Moreover, ABC was not com
peting with Food Lion, and it did
not have any actual or potential
business relationship with the gro
cery chain,” so the law could not
be used in this case, Michael wrote.
A spokesperson for ABC News
did not immediately return a tele
phone call for comment.

WASHINGTON (APJEPResuming Middle East
diplomacy, President*Clinton wilPmeet next month in
Norway with Prime Minister Ehud
Barak of Israel and Palestinian
leader Yasser Arafat to spur^ilks on
an overall settlement.
The aim is to conclude an <

and several other thorny issu
next September — four month
fore Clinton leaves office.
“There is no greater priority for
this president,” Sandy Berger, his assistant for na
tional security, said yesterday in announcing Clinton
would meet separately and*then together with Barak
and Arafat on Nov. 2 in Oslo.*#
Clinton has suffered a number of foreign policy set
backs of late. Among then)%ve^ the Senate’s rejection
b
s b
CLINTON
of a treaty to ban nuclear-weapons tests and passage
of a foreign-aid bill that sharply cut several overseas
programs. He vetoed \t this week and denounced con
servative Republicans who engineered his defeats as
“new isolationists.”
The three leaders will be in Norway to commemo
rate the 1993 Oslo accords, which put Israel and the
Palestinians on the negotiating track.
Berger said talks between the two sides had
reached "a moment of truth,” and while he seemed
cautiously optimistic they would reach a settlement,
Berger pointed out the clock is ticking.
One marker is the pledge Barak and Arafat took to
complete the framework of an accord by February.
Clinton is planning to spend only a day or two in
Oslo, which contrasts with the nine mostly sleepless
nights he needed last October to hammer out a West
Bank accord between then-Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu and Arafat in Maryland.

WASHINGTON (AP) —Soldiers
exposed to radiation during atomic
tests in Nevada in the 1950s have
had higher-than-normal death-«tes
for leukemia and for prosjfcfbWnd
nasal cancer, a new study44%i».
The increased death
nasal and prostate cancefl^md hot
been reported before, but the holi
er leukemia rates have beer#d*ind
in other studies, accordi«s^tJlhe
report from the National Academy
of Sciences’ Institute of Medicine.
"These leukemia findings do
not resolve the debate over
whether participation is associ
ated with leukemia mortality,”
study director Susan Thaul said.
“However, the set of leukemia
findings is consistent with the
results of other studies of mili
tary participants in nuclear tests
and is broadly consistent with a
hypothesis that these are radia
tion effects.”
Comparing a group of service
men who took part in the tests in
Nevada and the Pacific with sim
ilar service members who did not
participate, the analysis found no
difference between the two
groups in overall death rates or in
total deaths from cancer.
