The police in New York State will be prohibited from disclosing the names of sex crime victims, under a bill signed into law today by Gov. Mario M. Cuomo. The Legislature passed the bill after some news organizations, including The New York Times, set off controversy this spring by printing the name of a woman who said she was raped at the Kennedy compound in Florida.

Romania once had a flourishing community of 750,000 Jews. Only 18,000 remain. Hundreds of thousands were slaughtered during World War II; others fled Communist rule afterward. For nearly 50 years, Communist governments concealed the horrifying facts about Romanian complicity in Nazi massacres. Yet even now, as the truth struggles to the surface, those who speak it are vilified and Romania's ex-Communist leaders seem immobilized, even as a gutter press spews new hatred against all minorities -- Jews, ethnic Hungarians and gypsies. In what should have been a redemptive gesture, Romania dedicated a memorial in Bucharest this week to the 400,000 Jews who fell victim to "German, Romanian and Hungarian Fascists." Sadly, this was followed by the ugly taunting of Elie Wiesel, a Nobel laureate who survived the pogroms in Transylvania. And it was preceded by the Romanian Parliament's rehabilitation of Ion Antonescu, ally of the Nazis, who initiated the mass killings.

"Bob Simon: Back to Baghdad" is an understatement. Tonight at 10 on CBS, the correspondent, who spent the weeks of the Persian Gulf war in an Iraqi prison, also returns to Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Israel. He begins his determinedly unsentimental journey by asking whether there is in fact a new order in the Middle East. What he finds are mainly old and depressing orders. In Kuwait, he is struck mainly by the "lethargy, aimlessness and incompetence" of rulers who, back in their palaces after a brief and comfortable exile, seem unable to deal with such basic chores as cleaning up the rubble of war or collecting the garbage. The sharp schisms in Kuwaiti society, between Palestinians and Kuwaitis and between the rich who fled and those who stayed and endured the Iraqi occupation, remind him of Lebanon. "All of Kuwait," he says, "is in intensive care now." Mr. Simon, who has a way with a phrase, describes the burning oil wells as "the bonfire of the insanities."

Vera Sautter, a volunteer at a senior citizens' center in this parched prairie town, remembers when people bought war bonds and followed serials on the radio and when grown men took their hats off when the flag passed by in a parade. Those were the days before Vietnam and Watergate and assorted crises surrounding anything from oil to the hostages in Iran, the days when people were not embarrassed to say they were American and patriotism was right up there with Hula Hoops and apple pie.
