Colson Denies CIA Hunt Story

Washington AP says former White House aide Colson denies claims about E. Howard Hunt passing information to CIA counterintelligence officer Richard Ober.

Court ruling requires notice and hearing for student suspensions

The Supreme Court ruled that students suspended for as long as ten days must receive notice of charges and an opportunity to defend themselves. Justices Powell and others dissented, warning the decision could hinder school efficiency and education quality. The ruling affects Ohio law and statewide practices, with thousands of suspensions noted in New York City during 1972-73. The Court allows post removal hearings when immediate removal is necessary, but stops short of granting right to attorney representation or cross examination in all cases.
