Some years ago I stood behind a teacher with a gaggle of students who had approached a court officer at the Criminal Courts Building in lower Manhattan to ask how she could arrange to observe a trial. The officer told her what he later said many people failed to understand: that anyone can watch. It's that simple: the public usually has a right to be present at the process by which we find our fellows guilty or not of some infraction of law. Today, as the O. J. Simpson case has made clearer than ever before, we even have the right to watch from the comfort of our living rooms.

WOOLWORTH NEARLY HALVES ITS DIVIDEND

The Woolworth Corporation cut its dividend nearly in half yesterday, in a move it said was designed to put more money into its retail chains. In cutting its quarterly payout to 15 cents a share from 29 cents, Woolworth brought its dividend down to its lowest level since 1987, but also brought it more in line with the dividend yields other retail companies have been offering their shareholders recently, analysts said. The dividend cut also reflects problems in Woolworth's core discount store business, and concern that its Foot Locker unit's growth has slowed, said Tobi Mason, an analyst at Spare, Tengler, Kaplan & Bichel. Woolworth shares slipped 37.5 cents, to $15.625, on the New York Stock Exchange. The new dividend will be paid on Sept. 1 to shareholders of record as of Aug. 1.

The Atlantic Richfield Company said yesterday that it had agreed to spend $1 billion over 25 years to develop a giant oilfield in Algeria.

For ARCO, the most domestically focused of the United States oil companies, developing the field about 450 southeast of Algiers would help shift its sources of oil abroad and away from the dwindling Prudhoe Bay field in Alaska.

The Chevron Corporation said yesterday that it had found a buyer for its landmark headquarters building in San Francisco's financial district a year after putting the structure up for sale.
