Appeal from Sup. Ct. Tex. Motion of appellant for leave to proceed in forma pauperis denied. Appellant is allowed until October 24, 1988, within which to pay the docketing fee required by Rule 45(a) and to submit a statement as to jurisdiction in compliance with Rule 33 of the Rules of this Court.

Dissenting Opinion

Justice Brennan, Justice Marshall, Justice Blackmun, and Justice Stevens,

dissenting.

For the reasons expressed in Brown v. Herald Co., 464 U.
