Dealer convicted of price gouging in Boston case
Beacon Hill Gulf operator Glenn Heller was sentenced to 30 days in prison and fined $9,450 after being convicted on 27 counts of overcharging during last summer's gasoline shortage. The first U S dealer prosecuted for price gouging defended his actions as ethical while supporters cheered in court.

Bani Sadr vows corruption fight amid hostage crisis
Iran's new president Abolhassan Bani Sadr pledges to root out corruption but does not address the U.S. hostages who reach day 94 in captivity. Militants demand the shah's return before any release and note a U.S. group will visit to study the revolution. Waldheim proposes an international commission to probe charges against the shah and possibly hand hostages to a third party such as the Red Cross.
