- Major Sues

- <body>
- <p> While his government debates possible new press restraints
- inspired by the frenzied coverage of royals, John Major is
- seeking redress the old-fashioned way. The British Prime
- Minister announced plans to initiate libel suits against two
- magazines for printing allegations that he had conducted an
- extramarital affair with a fashionable London caterer, Clare
- Latimer. The long-whispered rumor was printed last month in the
- satirical monthly Scallywag, and repeated, albeit skeptically,
- by the left-wing weekly New Statesman and Society. Latimer, 41,
- promised similar legal action.
