Police said a 70-year-old woman was called a murderer and complained about "obnoxious and violent pictures" pushed up to her face as she walked in.

The group said it will stage another protest Saturday but would not disclose its time or location. Deficit Bill By a vote of 272 to 128, the House approved a deficit reduction bill that puts the fiscal 1990 federal budget in compliance with Gramm-Rudman limits on annual indebtedness. The Senate then approved the measure by voice vote, and President Bush signed it into law. The "reconciliation" bill (HR How They Voted Yei Nay no vote Rep. Bales (D) Rep.

Greer declined to unseal the records, saying the potential for any harm to the Brodericks' four children outweighed any public interest in the nine file folders of documents. Greer said he saw the case the same way San Diego Superior Court Judge William J. Howatt, Jr. who originally ordered the records closed last January saw it. Howatt said in sealing the files that there was a "clear and present" danger the children would be "adversely and irrevocably harmed" if materials in the records were made public.

The request was initiated by the Copley Press, which publishes the San Diego Union and the San Diego' Tribune. A lawyer for the newspapers, Gregory D. Roper, said he was not certain whether they would appeal Greer's ruling. Betty Broderick is accused of murdering her ex-husband, Daniel, and his new wife, Linda Kolkena Broderick, in the bedroom of their Hillcrest home Nov. 5.

She has pleaded not guilty. A former nurse's assistant convicted of raping an 11 -year-old comatose patient on Christmas morning in a rehabilitation facility was sentenced Friday to 13 years in prison. The maximum term was handed down to Noel Sanchez, 23, of Clairemont, who was convicted of rape and child molestation of the girl, who was in the facility because she had suffered brain damage in a car accident. Sanchez was convicted Oct. 18 by a San Diego Superior Court jury, which also found that the girl suffered great bodily injury in the incident at the Lake Erie Institute of Rehabilitation in San Diego.

Judge Laura Hammes imposed eight years for the rape plus five years for the great bodily injury and fined Sanchez $1,000. The parents of the girl, who are from Riverside County, spoke in court for a stern sentence. "We're just asking for justice for our We're torn apart because of this." said her father. The girl has since been moved to her parents' house, where she receives nursing care. She has improved to the point of saying a a few words but still has severe brain damage.

Saying Sanchez took advantage of a position of trust, Hammes said, "he has damaged his entire An unidentified man was shot to death Friday night in Encanto, San Diego police said. Police are investigating the killing, which occurred inside a residence in the 5100 block of Imperial Avenue. The man, believed to be 25 to 28 years old, was shot in the chest. He was pronounced dead at Mercy Hospital at 7:39 p.m., police said. La Mesa About 30 anti-abortion activists picketed Friday morning at the Family Planning Associates Medical Group, part of a 40-business complex, on Fletcher Parkway in La Mesa.

Operation Rescue' protesters peacefully, handed out brochures until 1 p.m., a La Mesa police spokesman said. No arrests were made, but La Mesa police received several complaints from people who went to the medical facility and from neighboring businesses. "They were objecting to the fact that they are being called murder San Ysidro A 17-year-old undocumented worker was shot and wounded Thursday by Border Crime Prevention officers near the San Ysidro port of entry, the San Diego Police Department reported. Border Patrol agents Sgt. Joe Wood and Officer Cesar Castro fired several shots at the teen-ager after he ran toward the officers with a metal object that turned out to be a screwdriver, spokesman Bill Robinson said.

The youth, whom police declined to name because he is a minor, was shot several times in the lower body and was taken by Life Flight to UC San Diego Medical Center, Robinson said. The teen-ager was in stable condition Friday afternoon, a hospital spokeswoman said. 3299) would reduce red ink for the year that began Oct. 1 by at least $14.6 billion, lowering the deficit to the $110-billion level required by the Gramm-Rudman law. Legislated spending cuts would account for about $6.6 billion of the reduction and new taxes about $2.9 billion.

Forced across-the-board cuts, in effect until February under "sequestration" provisions, would reduce the year's deficit by $4.6 billion, and lower Treasury borrowing costs resulting from the bill would save $629 million. Along with cutting the deficit and enacting new taxes in specialized areas of the economy, the bill makes several policy changes. For example, it reforms the way physicians are reimbursed under Medicare, prohibiting them from charging unreasonable fees that ultimately are paid by taxpayers. The measure confronts the deficit more squarely than any of the annual reconciliation bills passed previously this decade. Still, it leaves entitlement programs virtually untouched, resorts to accounting gimmicks, such as moving the $1.8 billion Postal Service deficit and $420 million in Farm Credit System bailout costs "off budget," and once again pushes the most difficult fiscal and political decisions on taming the deficit into the next year.

Supporter Leon E. Panetta (D-Monterey) said, "A yes vote provides for real deficit reduction." Opponent Silvio 0. Conte (R-Mass.) said the bill lacks "any significant effort to address the root cause of the deficit" entitlement programs. Members voting yes supported the reconciliation bill. Nevada Wilderness Bill By a vote of 126 to 283, the House rejected an amendment to reduce by 40 the proposed Nevada wilderness area.

All of the land is owned by the National Forest Service. This amendment sought to reduce the Nevada wilderness area from 733,000 to the 412,000 acres recommended by Agriculture Secretary Clayton Yuetter, who oversees the Forest Service. If Bush signs the bill, Nevada will become the 50th state to have U.S. wilderness areas under terms of the 1964 Wilderness Act. Amendment supporter Don Young (R-Alaska) said the bill was advocated by environmentalists and others "that think they have the God-given right to tell people that live on the land how they should live." Opponent Peter H.

Kostmayer (D-Pa.) said, "This so-called Draconian measure adds six-tenths of 1 of the state of Nevada to wilderness. I think that is very, very modest." Members voting yes wanted to reduce Nevada wilderness areas by 40. Dlal-a-Porn By a vote of 98 to 306, the House refused to remove "dial-a-porn" language from the fiscal 1990 appropriations bill for the departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education (HR 3566).

The new language was signed into law by President Bush as part of HR 3566. Members voting to remove the language from the bill objected on procedural grounds. They disliked the way the Senate had loaded up HR 3566 at the end of the 1989 session with provisions not germane to the bill. They also objected to disregarding House rules and allowing an appropriations bill to be used as the vehicle for substantive changes in the law. But lawmakers on the other side of the issue said the House should seize the opportunity at hand to move against dial-a-porn services.

Members voting yes wanted to remove dial-a-porn language from the pending appropriations bill.
