Opportunity Commission Head Is Glad He's Bald
Stephen N. Shulman, Harvard and Yale Law School grad, is the new chairman of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. At 33 he is among Washington’s youngest agency chiefs and says responsibility came early. The commission faces a six month backlog and about 2,060 of its first year complaints remain unresolved after initial screening. The EEOC enforces the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by identifying probable discrimination and urging employers to cease practices, with options to refer to the attorney general or allow the employee to sue.

Dallas DA Seeks Ruby Case Rehearing Review
Dallas District Attorney Henry Wade will seek a rehearing from the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals on Jack Ruby’s appeal verdict. The state aims to reverse the court’s Oct 6 decision that Ruby’s death sentence for killing Lee Harvey Oswald be erased and a new trial held, not in Dallas, with Wade signaling another death penalty request if a new trial occurs. The court previously ruled Ruby’s trial was unfair due to inadmissible testimony from a Dallas police officer.
