The twelve women verdict says the dressmaker was not to blame, fault placed on the plaintiff's figure, a precedent cited with humor and critique of male juries.

Oklahoma bank guarantee plan faces opposition from Kansas City bankers
Oklahoma adopts a guaranteed deposit fund funded by a 1 percent assessment on state banks to cover deposits of suspended banks. The plan, overseen by the state banking board, would shift risk to stronger banks and attract money, but critics say it burdens sound institutions and may spur unsafe competition.
