Longtime LPWS activist Tom Isenberg has lost his Tuesday night talk show at Seattle's KVI-AM. The station had covered the weeknight 7-9 PM stint with different hosts each evening. Now the station has hired a fulltime host for the slot.

The February issue of the LP News carried a thoughtful commentary on sexual harrassment law by Kirkland attorney and occasional WL contributor Jeff Jared, who argues that common law contract and tort law provide adequate remedies for bonafide harrassment, and that recent legislation on the subject hobbles ordinary social relationships and free speech.

Washington Supreme Court Justice Richard Sanders, who identifies himself as a libertarian, recently faced a hearing before the Commission on Judicial Conduct for attending a pro-life rally in January, 1996. Critics claim Sanders' appearance and 1-minute speech violates ''appearance of fairness'' rules. Sanders was represented at the hearing by the Washington ACLU, which announced that although it disagreed with the views of those sponsoring the rally, it would defend the Justice's right of free speech. A decision by the Commission is expected in about 30 days.

On January 17th, LP Deputy Director of Communications George Getz debated Robert Weiner, spokesman for drug czar General Barry McCaffrey, on KHJJ radio in Lancaster, California. When Weiner was hammered for trying to deny that Americans were being arrested for mere possession of marijuana, the DEA spokesman decided he'd had enough. After a couple of hostile questions from Getz and callers, Weiner ''turned tail and quit the interview early, leaving just 15 minutes into a scheduled 30-minute debate,'' Getz says.

''George,'' remarked the host, ''I got the feeling that the drug czar's spokesman was lying to us.''
