The bills, which have a good chance of passing the Menem-controlled legislature, would greatly increase the penalties for libel and slander, make it a crime to offend the memory of the dead, and force news outlets to take out costly libel insurance.

The United States Shoe Corporation and Nine West Group said yesterday that they had broken off talks about Nine West's proposed purchase of U.S. Shoe's footwear division. U.S. Shoe, based in Cincinnati, accused Nine West of stalling when the companies were close to an agreement. But Nine West, based in Stamford, Conn., said it had backed out because its "due diligence review" of the footwear unit led it to decide its offer of $600 million plus stock warrants was too high. Nine West said that it had offered U.S. Shoe $525 million and more warrants but was rejected. Bannus B. Hudson, the chief executive of U.S. Shoe, said in a statement that it was "actively exploring other transaction options." In December, Nine West said it expected a final agreement by the end of January to acquire the unit.
