<B>FBI allowed to keep file on New York man's lawful activities<P> WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court today refused to order the FBI to purge its file on lawful activities by the former head of a charitable foundation.

Classic error for a news report on the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court denied cert. Lance Lindblom v. FBI, 97-82, Oct. 14, 1997. It did not rule on the merits of the case. The Court did not order the FBI to purge the files. It did not tell the FBI to buy Mr. Lindblom a cup of coffee. It simply decided not to review the decision of the lower court. Welcome back. M.
