Texaco ordered to pay
HOUSTON A jude accepted
the largest civil damage award in
U.S. history Tuesday, agreeing with
a jury that Texaco should pay Pen
nzoil Co. $10.53 billion for using
unethical tactics to break up a
merger between Pennzoil and Getty
Oil Co.

Budget blues continue
WASHINGTON A rambunctious
Congress, prodded by President
Reagan to do his bidding, labored
Tuesday over a deficit-reduction plan
and year-end spending legislation,
and straggled to save the presi
dent's cherished tax overhaul prop
osal from oblivion,
"He told us to finish our work,"
Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole
of Kansas said after legislative
leaders met with Reagan at the
White House.
Negotiators for the House and
Senate were near agreement on the
deficit-reduction plan, designed to
force a balanced budget by 1991 by

House officials expressed continu

Sakharovfilm denounced
WASHINGTON - The Reagan
administration charged Tuesday
that the release of surreptitious
films taken of Soviet dissident
Andrei Sakharov are part of a Krem
lin campaign to hide the maltreat
ment of the ailing physicist.
"The films are clearly designed to
deflect attention from Soviet mis
treatment of Dr. Sahkarov. They do
not provide credible information
about his state of health," White
House spokesman Larry Speakes
said.
Mandela visits husband
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
Winnie Mandela paid an unan
nounced visit to her husband Nel
son on Tuesday. The imprisoned
black leader has become a symbol
to many blacks fighting apartheid,
the official race policy that pre
serves privilege for South Africa's 5
million whites and denies rights to
the 24 million blacks.
Rumors abound that the govern
ment is trying to strike a deal with
Mandela, 67, under which he will
renounce violence in return for
freedom. He rejected such an offer
when President P. W. Botha made it
last January.
