Court Rules City May Regulate Boxes But Not Paper Licenses
The Supreme Court held city officials may regulate newspaper box placements but cannot decide which newspapers are sold. In a 4 3 decision, the Lakewood Ohio licensing law giving the mayor licensing power was struck down as a potential prior restraint. Justice Brennan warned such discretion could censor opposing papers and upheld First Amendment protections for news boxes and publishers nationally.

Fishermen rescued after five months adrift in Pacific
Five Costa Rican fishermen aboard the Cairo III landed in Oahu after five months adrift in a 30 foot boat. They survived on rainwater and sea life after the vessel drifted 3,600 miles following a January storm that knocked out radio and engine. The crew, rescued by a Japanese tuna boat about 700 miles southeast of Honolulu, were to be examined at Tripler Army Medical Center for vitamin deficiencies but likely not hospitalized.

A Congressional Office of Technology Assessment study faulted the EPA for weak leadership and a poorly trained workforce hindering cleanup of hazardous waste sites. It said enforcement of key toxic waste laws was inconsistent and that the agency fails to fully apply 1986 amendments mandating permanent cleanup with advanced technology where feasible. EPA official J Winston Porter dismissed the report as limited and based on inadequate data.
