Supreme Court ends long wait for equal protection for women
Editorial notes the 14th Amendment now applies to women after a unanimous Supreme Court ruling on an Idaho estate statute that favored men. It cautions the ruling is limited to this case but supports case by case review of sex distinctions and contrasts past refusals to apply the amendment to women and earlier limits on black citizens.

Triple Concerto for Three Celli and Orchestra review
Bennington hosts a Mount Anthony High School performance of Louis Calabro’s Triple Concerto for Three Celli and Orchestra with George Finckel and his sons Michael and Christopher as soloists. The reviewer praises the virtuosity but laments insufficient cello presence and uneven moments including dramatic tympani clashes and brassy dissonances. The piece provokes cautious hope despite mixed impressions and recalls the composer’s disinterest in audiences.
