Judge Not: An Atlanta judge in a mock trial of Saddam Hussein said the exercise showed the need for a permanent war crimes tribunal to try leaders who attack peaceful nations and harm the environment. A panel of three jurists said Sunday at a meeting of the American Bar Assn. that their purpose was to probe international law; they did not render a verdict. Defense lawyer F. Lee Bailey called the case unfair: “No one from the United States has been tried for the invasions of Grenada and Panama.”

Double Duty: President Bush went to church in Kennebunkport, Me., Sunday morning dressed from the ankles down for a game of tennis. Bush wanted to be ready to dash from his pew at St. Ann’s Episcopal Church to the net, so while sporting the standard Sunday ensemble--a gray suit, white shirt and tie--on his feet were a pair of white socks and worn, casual cream-colored shoes that looked as though they might have been picked up at a yard sale. “I don’t have to waste time changing when I come out to play tennis right after this,” Bush explained.

Out of the Spotlight: The Rev. Bruce Ritter, the priest who founded the New York-based Covenant House shelter and later was accused of having sex with youths placed in his care, will be transfered to a remote diocese in India. Franciscan investigators said they found evidence that Ritter had sexual relations with young men at the home for troubled and runaway teens. “I think he is avoiding dealing with the problem,” said a Franciscan spokesman. “Sadly, Father Ritter has resisted our help. We pray for him.” Ritter has not been charged with a crime.

Looking Back: The National Football League hopes to sew up the sports retro fashion market with a line of designs called NFL Throwbacks. Items include caps, jerseys, sweat shirts, T-shirts and jackets like those of the 1920s. The collection will be sold this fall wherever products from its current 28 teams are available, with prices ranging from about $20 for a wool cap to up to $300 for an antiqued leather jacket.
