MIAMI — A battle over Manuel Noriega's prison tapes ended yesterday after court transcripts were released to the public on the orders of a federal judge.

Police said 87 people suffered burns, broken bones or smoke inhalation and were taken by ambulance or helicopter to hospitals in Bologna. One firefighter was hurt.
At the time of the crash, 285 students, 28 teachers and four monitors were at the Gaetano Salvalmi vocational high school in Casalecchio, three miles from Bologna, authorities said.
"I heard a lot of students screaming, and I saw at least eight of them jump in panic from the third floor," said Giovanna Degli Esposti, who watched from her home in a nearby condominium complex.
She said that it was recess time and that some students already were outside Gaetano Salvmelli High School in Casalecchio, three miles from Bologna.
A paramilitary official said that all 12 dead were students in the classroom hit by the jet, which tore a 12-foot-wide hole in a wall on the second floor of the three-story building.

The girl, Federica Tacconi, 16, suffered a crushed pelvis, said ANSA.
Thousands rally in Yugoslavia
The Associated Press
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia - Thousands of supporters of the main opposition to Communist power in Serbia defied a police hunter yesterday and campaign for control of Yugoslavia's largest republic.
Opposition leader Vuk Draskovic, a candidate in Sunday's election for the Serbian presidency, charged that a supporter of his Serbian Renewal Movement had been shot and killed by a rival Communist. The charge further escalated tensions in the republic.
The crowd of 15,000 to 20,000 people chanted "Down with Red bandits," and "Down with Red fascists" after Draskovic announced the death of Serbian leader Đurđević in southern Serbia town of Vranjie late Wednesday.
Sunday's election in Serbia and in the republic of Montenegro is considered the crucial last act in a decade-long struggle for control of Yugoslavia. In a bid to end the country's death of Josip Bzoz Tito, who governed with an
iron hand for 35 years
Tensions are now so high that the CIA has predicted the country may disintegrate within 18 months and civil war could break out.
The Serbian election, the republic's first free vote in 50 years, pits the ruling hard-line Serbian Communists, recently renamed Socialists, against the Serbian Renewal Movement and a host of other center-right nationalist parties.
The election will decide the presidency and 250 seats in the republic's legislature.
Serbia and Montenegro are the last of Yugoslavia's six republics to hold elections. After Sunday's results, the newly elected leaders from all six states will begin haggling about Yugoslavia's future.
Yesterday's rally had been banned by Belgrade police, who halted construction of a wooden stage on the city's main Republic Square. But police did not try to stop the rally once it got under way.
