Argentine Army To Run Country
Argentina’s military junta announced it will assume running the country with retired Gen Reynaldo Bignone named president and take a short transition toward civilian rule by early 1984. The army pledged to lead the transition as air force and navy chiefs opposed another army leader after the Falklands war, with leadership to be coordinated among the three services. Bignone will take office July 1, while interior minister Gen Alfredo Saint Jean remains interim chief executive through then.

West Virginia Supreme Court allows teachers to use bare hand spanking but bans wooden paddles or similar devices. The ruling requires the state Board of Education to set clear corporal punishment regulations and minimal due process, including an adult neutral observer during punishment.
