The jury awarded Mr. Newton $19.2 million in damages. The case posed issues of freedom of the press against the rights held by an individual who is a public figure.

POLL FINDS REAGAN'S CREDIBILITY CONTINUES TO DROP

President Reagan's overall job rating remains stable but his image as a singularly honest public figure has continued to slip, the latest New York Times/CBS News Poll shows. Moreover, the poll showed substantial public suspicion that the use of the Fifth Amendment by officials meant the Administration was not cooperating with Congressional investigations as it had promised. Forty-seven percent of the 1,087 adults interviewed by telephone on Sunday and Monday said they approved of how Mr. Reagan was handling his job as President, the same percentage as gave that answer a week earlier.

Why Is the Iran Deal a Surprise? Reagan Has Long Been Deceptive

Date: 17 December 1986

By John B. Oakes

The latest New York Times/CBS News poll shows that nearly half the American public believes that President Reagan has been lying when he denies any knowledge of the Iranian-Nicaraguan arms deal. The sad truth is that, apart from the effect on the President's own personal reputation, it doesn't much matter. Since the beginning of his first term, he and his Administration have been engaged in so much deception, particularly in connection with foreign policy, that one more bit of evidence to that effect doesn't greatly change the score. From its very beginnings in 1981, the Administration, including the President, has not told the truth to the public about its Nicaraguan policy. It has not told the truth about its human rights policy, especially in the Caribbean, Latin America and Africa. It has not leveled with the public on its hostages policy, on its information policy, on its anti-terrorist policy, even on some aspects of the most crucial issue of all - arms control policy.

Attorney General Edwin Meese 3d said today that he had not ''seen anything'' to contradict his original finding that only Vice Adm. John M. Poindexter and Lieut. Col. Oliver L. North knew of the diversion of Iranian arms payments to Nicaraguan rebels. Mr. Meese, speaking at a news conference after testifying under oath for five hours before the Senate Intelligence Committee, said he had no evidence that any official other than Colonel North took part in the diversion. ''So far, I have not seen anything that would provide evidence different from what we originally found,'' he said.
