Editors at The Star-Ledger of Newark said today that they were ordered to vacate their City Hall office just hours after they warned city officials that they planned to go to court to obtain public documents that might be related to a Federal corruption investigation. Charles Cooper, managing editor of The Star-Ledger, said the eviction notice was slipped through the mail slot in the room the bureau occupies on the second floor of City Hall about 90 minutes after the newspaper's lawyers formally notified the administration of Mayor Sharpe James that it would go to court on Friday to obtain the papers. The eviction order takes effect on Friday.

Senator Bob Dole of Kansas, the majority leader, chose not to make a formal, nationally televised response to President Clinton's Bosnia speech tonight, though he agreed to do two brief interviews. He did not have a Republican position to present, and he had no incentive to offer his own opinions even though no other Congressional view matters as much as his. As Senate leader, Mr. Dole controls the calendar. As a wounded World War II veteran, he commands respect on issues of war and peace in the Senate, where the old-fashioned internationalism that spread from Wall Street Republicans in the late 1930's to Main Street in the 1950's is still alive, and NATO remains a concept of consequence.

The board of Merck & Company approved a $3 billion stock repurchase program yesterday. The company, which is based in Whitehouse Station, N.J., said the stock would be repurchased on the open market and in privately negotiated transactions.

The buyback is in addition to a $2 billion repurchase authorized in November 1994, the company said. Through Sept. 30, Merck had spent $1.3 billion to repurchase 29 million shares under that plan. Merck has about 1.23 billion shares outstanding. The company's shares closed yesterday at $59.50, up 87.5 cents, on the New York Stock Exchange, before the repurchase was announced.
