A Federal district judge has ruled that some personal papers and diaries of former President Reagan may be used as evidence in the case of John M. Poindex- ter, regarding the Iran-contra affair. Documents of conversations with George Bush while he was Vice President are not being allowed in the trial. £ This ruling raises two questions. Is it a move just to appease critics of the handling of the Iran-contra case? And, is a man effectively above the law while he serves as President? While the ruling is a step in the right direction, it may not be as much of a breakthrough as it appears. Judge Greene will only approve specific, relevant documents which indicate the level of Reagan's involvement in the case, including if there is evidence of him knowingly misleading Congress. Poindexter's attorneys must know exactly what documents) they're looking for in order to obtain a subpoena. The judge's ruling seems only a token gesture at justice. While documents will be allowed as evidence, they may be so difficult to obtain that the ruling is rendered

However, at least some documents may be used this time. That was not the case some months ago when Oliver North was on trial while Reagan was still in Ram Opini office. (The only documents that were released then were those chosen by Reagan's lawyer). The reasoning for this was that no documents could shed any light on the issue Lou: I couldn't agree more!

2.60's revival (It was 20 years ago...)- With the arrival of the retro-rock ex- plosion and the revival of Woodstock the 60's have made a major comeback this year. Some major options in this category include Mick and the Stones, any of the Beatles, Tina Turner, Diana Ross and the Supremes. You can always be one-of the colorful Hippies, a relatively easy costume that requires some spontaneous creativi- ty. (It also helps if you can dig up a pair of bellbottoms.)

3. Material Girls— This year news and entertainment have mixed to provide a number of interesting personalities. TakeZsa Zsa Gabor for example (just don't touch her car). There's a perfect costume, darling. Just ask one of your friends to play the Beverly Hills Cop. There are plenty of lovely ladies to choose from: Leona, rammie Faye, and more. On a calmer note there's always Barbara Bush. If you must go with the movie and TV personalities here are a few more to try: Oprah, Madonna, Samantha Fox, LaToya Jackson (if you must).
