Report links Bork with alcohol
The Associated Press
CLEVELAND — A confidential FBI report raises questions about Supreme Court nominee Robert H. Bork's alcohol consumption, according to a published report in yesterday's editions of The Plain Dealer.
Senate Judiciary Committee hearings began yesterday to consider President Reagan's nominee to the nation's highest court.
The newspaper quoted unidentified committee sources who said the confidential report described two 1983 incidents two days apart in the same building, buried in the Once. The report said, he had alcohol in his bloodstream.
Such reports are routinely gathered on judicial nominees.
Bork's son, Charles, said late Monday that his father was asleep and therefore would not respond to questions on the report.
Judiciary Committee member Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., raised the issue with Bork privately after being told of the report, the newspaper said.
Bork's son, Charles, said late Mon-
Bork went to Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C., on Dec. 21 and 23, 1983, the newspaper said.
During the second visit, the level of alcohol in Bork's blood was 0.09, a source said. The Plain Dealer did not say why the test was taken.
In the District of Columbia, if Bork had been driving, this blood alcohol level would have be high enough to define him as "under the influence of alcohol" but below the 0.10 level
defined as "intoxicated."
Bork said he broke his arm after he slipped on an ice walk, the newspaper said. Two days later, Bork said his broken arm was in a sling when he dropped it and was wounded during a Christmas party at his home and sprained his wrist.
"It happened during a week when Christmas parties are common, so maybe it isn't a big deal," the newspaper quoted a Judiciary Committee source as saying. "But we've got to explore this because it may be indicative of a drinking problem."
Several Bork associates and former clerks disputed any suggestion that Bork had a drinking problem, the newspaper said.
Hackers access NASA data files
The Associated Press
FRANKFURT, West Germany — Computer hackers broke into NASA's worldwide data network throughout the summer and gathered secret information on space shuttle projects and rocket failures, West German media said yesterday.
News reports said young West Germans gained regular access to at least 20 computers of the U.S. space agency to paralyze the entire network.
The ARD television network said a
flaw in the network's security system allowed the hackers to enter the network from May to September.
Hackers are computer enthusiasts who often try to break into private computer systems for the challenge or for criminal gain.
The NASA system connects more than 1,600 computers worldwide that share information on space research, nuclear physics and molecular biology, AND said in a report broadcast last night. The network includes U.S. atomic research facilities in Loe
Alamos, N.M.
In Washington, NASA said in a statement that the tapped network provides unclassified information to university and industry researchers.
"We know of no classified information which can be accessed through the network." the statement said.
The statement said NASA used a number of computer networks with varying degrees of security to provide "appropriate individuals" with access to data.
