Nixon yields ground in data controversy
President Nixon grants the Senate Watergate committee certain subpoena powers by allowing a bill to become law. He opposes the measure, saying it undermines the judicial system, but fears a veto would be misread as motive. The bill cites Sirica as the governing jurisdiction for subpoenas, enabling future access to tapes and documents.

Supreme Court limits class actions in Vermonters sludge case
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that in federal court a single class action cannot be brought for multiple plaintiffs with different jurisdictions when damages must exceed 10,000 dollars per claimant. Four Vermont landowners sued for about 200 neighbors over sludge from a Ticonderoga NY plant, now allowed to sue only for their own damages. The decision could influence ongoing class suits against drugmakers and city water diversions in DC, with dissents by Douglas Brennan and Marshall.
