Test of a Shield Law Joseph Bosco's new book, "Blood Will Tell" (William Morrow & Company), came out earlier this month and immediately caused a big stir in New Orleans, Mr. Bosco's home and the scene of the curious murder he writes about. In detail, the book describes the beating death in 1984 of Janet Myers, a young housewife, and the subsequent trials of her husband and her lover, each of whom sought to place the blame on the other and ended up with a substantial prison sentence for the killing. Of all the people interested in the book, few had more reason to be interested than the lover, William Fontanille, who was convicted of manslaughter and is serving a 21-year sentence in a Louisiana prison. Because of information hinted at in the book, Mr. Fontanille's lawyer, Nick Noreia, asserts that his client deserves a new trial, and he has subpoenaed all the tapes of Mr. Bosco's interviews with Kerry Myers, the husband, who was convicted of murder and is serving a life sentence.

The telephone poll, conducted Nov. 11-14 among 1,334 adults nationwide, showed 41 percent opposed and 37 percent in favor of the pact, which would gradually erase trade barriers between the United States, Canada and Mexico. The difference fell within the poll's margin of sampling error, which was plus or minus three percentage points.
