The judge in the O. J. Simpson murder case refused today to let reporters see three photographs of the bloodied bodies of Mr. Simpson's former wife and a friend of hers outside her town house, where they were stabbed to death on the night of June 12. In his written response to a request by several news organizations that had sought access to those and other photographs of the crime scene, the judge said that releasing the three photos of the victims -- one of Nicole Brown Simpson and two of her friend, Ronald L. Goldman -- would create "a virtual certainty that the defendant's right to a fair trial will be prejudiced."

SEVEN decades of deadlines have come and gone for David Horowitz and he is still filing three times a week as a reporter, hacking away from a paper-stacked slum of a desk, his typewriter a clacking relic, his wizened outlook worthy of "The Front Page" characters who bark cynically at life's endless stories and tiresome deadlines. But he is a far gentler soul who predates "The Front Page," however much we search for the goose-necked phone amid the desk trash, hoping he'll demand, Sweetheart, get him Rewrite, so he can confide he has Boutros Boutros-Ghali concealed in a rolltop desk for an exclusive interview.

Congress is poised to award the Raytheon Company a contract for about $55 million to build an upgraded missile for its Patriot system, keeping alive a project the Pentagon had nearly killed, The Boston Globe reported yesterday. Representative Martin T. Meehan, Democrat of Massachusetts, said House and Senate negotiators agreed Thursday to put the money in the 1995 military budget, virtually assuring it would win Congressional approval, The Globe said. In addition, Mr. Meehan's office said Raytheon would be given $69 million to modify Patriot launchers, radar systems and other parts so they work with a new generation of missiles being built by the Loral Corporation, the newspaper said. Raytheon, which had 1993 sales of $9.2 billion, suffered a significant blow in April when the Pentagon chose Loral rather than Raytheon to build the post-Patriot generation of interceptor missiles.

Unitrin Inc., facing a hostile $2.6 billion bid from the American General Corporation, said yesterday that it increased its stock repurchase program by as many as 10 million shares, or more than 19 percent of its common stock. The Chicago-based insurance company said that its stock was undervalued and that it expected the repurchases to make the shares more valuable. Unitrin said the buyback would be made with corporate funds, but it could take out a loan to pay for the repurchase if needed. American General, based in Houston, disclosed on Aug. 2 that it was offering $50.375 a share for Unitrin's 51.8 million shares outstanding, a bid that Unitrin rejected. Unitrin's stock, traded over-the-counter, fell 50 cents, to $48 yesterday.

Canon Business Machines Inc. will pay as much as $633,735 in back wages to 32 qualified applicants denied jobs because of their race or gender, the Labor Department said.
