HAPPY helps parents Wire news summary: Former analyst arrested as spy WASHINGTON CAP) The FBI charged a former analyst with the Pentagon's supersecret National Security Agency with selling top defense secrets, including targets for U.S. nuclear weapons, to the Soviet Union during 1988-1991 for $60,000.

The former employee of the government's top eavesdropping and code-breaking agency, David Sheldon Boone, 46, who lias been living in Germany, was arrested after being lured here by an FBI sting in which agents posed as spies for Russia trying to get him to resume spying, the Justice Department said. Boone was to make an initial appearance today before U.S. Magistrate Judge Welton C. Sewell in Alexandria, Va. He was charged with espionage, which carries a top penalty of life in prison, or death if certain conditions are met The government said the information he passed "could potentially cause grave harm to the national security of the United States." The Justice Department gave this account Boone volunteered to spy for the Soviets when he walked into their embassy here in 1988.

At that time, he got $300 from them in return for a classified document he had written based on decoded NSA intercepts of electronic transmissions by a foreign government. At the time, Boone's marriage was in trouble and he was strapped for cash. He had taken a $2,000 loan that year and he and his wife separated that month. She got his entire Army pay and was to give him $250 a month to live on. She also got custody of their two children.

The Army had denied his request based on financial reasons to allow his family to live on a military base in Germany when he was sent there that month, so neither his wife nor children accompanied him.

Park vandalized RENO (AP) Two weeks before it is scheduled to be dedicated, vandals have hit Reno's newest park.

Videotaped home visits and on gay restriction WASHINGTON (AP) The U.S. Supreme Court allowed Cincinnati to deny homosexuals specific protection from discrimination today, an order likely to create confusion over government policies on gay rights. The action came just two years after the justices struck down as unconstitutional a similar measure in Colorado. Unlike the 1996 ruling, today's action set no national precedent hut rauspri nntrncp inst thp samp i ne supreme uoun nas given up. That's horrible," said Alphonse 3erhardstein, who represented opponents to the Cincinnati city charter amendment.

The voter-approved measure bans policies or ordinances that give homosexuals claims for legal protection from discrimination in housing, employment or otherwise based on their sexual orientation. It also bars "any claim of minority or protected status, quota preference or other preferential treatment" In rejecting a challenge to that amendment, Gerhardstein said, the highest court has let Cincinnati "remain as the only community in America where discrimination against gay people is institutionalized in the city charter." What real-world impact, if any, the amended city charter will have is hotly contested. Most cities and states offer no protection against bias based on sexual orientation. The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Cincinnati's amended charter provision, ruling that it "merely removed municipally enacted special protection from gays and lesbians." Today's order left that ruling intact.

But three justices, in an unusual step, played down the order's significance. Writing for the three, Justice John Paul Stevens said, "The confusion over the proper construction of the city charter counsels against granting (review)." He was joined by Justices David H. Souter and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The court's six other members wrote nothing, offering no insights into their votes. Phil Burress, who led the move to put the city charter amendment on the 1993 ballot, claimed victory: "What it tells me is that the only thing Colorado did wrong was go statewide rather than city by city." But Matt Coles of the American Civil Liberties Union disagreed, saying, "This action doesn't undermine (the 1996 ruling) a whit." And Suzanne B.

Goldberg of the gay-rights Lamba Legal Defense and Education Fund said, "This is clearly not the end of the battle for equal rights in Cincinnati." Gay-rights advocates won a dramat ic victory two years ago when the Supreme Court threw out a Colorado state constitutional amendment that forbade state and local laws protecting homosexuals from discrimination. The amendment unlawfully singled out gays and sought to "make them unequal to everyone else," the court ruled then. In Cincinnati, gay-rights advocates succeeded in 1994 in barring enforcement of the city charter measure, but the appeals court lifted a trial judge's injunction. Lost hunter inisidentified Brian Jones, 31, of Las Vegas was incorrectly identified in yesterday's Free Press as the missing hunter in the Jarbidge Wilderness by Elko County Undersheriff Clair Morris.
