MEDIA: PRESS;Detroit's bitter newspaper strike is creating some unlikely rivalries -- and bedfellows.

IN addition to causing considerable financial, psychological and even physical pain, the 18-week-old strike against the two daily newspapers here has yielded more than a little irony and just plain weirdness. One of the dailies, for example, has hired a labor reporter to replace a striking journalist. Among the obstacles he faces is that the unions in this labor town -- which is to say, the subjects of his beat -- will not speak to reporters who have crossed the picket lines at either paper, except to snarl at them.

In 1990, Vladimir Titorenko was a leading writer for the national sports daily in Russia, Sovetskii Sport. But as he began to write positive reports about the National Basketball Association, he faced increasing disapproval from hard-line editors, who were more interested in pushing coverage of the Olympic sports favored by the state: track and field, weight lifting and archery.
The deputy director of Sovetskii Sport, Vladimir Kuchmi, had been experiencing similar frustration. So that spring he raised the idea of starting a politically independent sports daily and invited Mr. Titorenko to join him.

The Supreme Court refused today to consider whether California courts could allow damage suits for invasion of privacy over news articles that, while accurate, in a jury's view lacked sufficient "social value" to be "newsworthy." Without comment, the Justices turned down an appeal by The National Enquirer, the defendant in an invasion of privacy lawsuit brought by the mother of an illegitimate son of the actor Eddie Murphy. The magazine disclosed the existence of the mother and a 2-year-old boy, Christian Edward Murphy, and the financial arrangements that Mr. Murphy had made for his son.

COMPANY NEWS;WALLACE COMPUTER'S TAKEOVER DEFENSE UPHELD
Date: 05 December 1995

Wallace Computer Services can use its "poison pill" to fight the Moore Corporation's $1.38 billion hostile takeover bid, a Federal judge in Delaware ruled yesterday. United States District Court Judge Murray Schwartz denied a request by Moore to strike down the takeover defense, but he also dismissed Wallace's counterclaim that a merger with Moore, which is based in Toronto, would violate United States antitrust laws. Wallace, based in Chicago, has rejected Moore's overtures for four months, even though about 73.5 percent of Wallace's shares have been tendered to Moore's $60-a-share offer. Wallace stock closed at $58.25 yesterday on the New York Stock Exchange, a gain of 37.5 cents. Moore needs 80 percent of the shares to defeat the poison pill; it urged Wallace shareholders to meet that requirement before Wallace's annual meeting on Friday.
