Supreme Court rules on age bias claims in police pay case
Justice Stevens writes for a 5 3 majority that age discrimination claims may proceed under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act though employers can justify differential treatment. The court, with Rehnquist recusing, clarifies that disparate impact claims may be permissible under Scalia's view while others dissent. Officers in Mississippi argued a pay plan favored younger employees. the court found the plan reasonable to retain staff and allowed the case to proceed on other grounds.

British surfer Chris Sullivan, 32, described a Monday great white strike at Nordhoek, where the shark clamped his leg and he kicked free. He rode a wave back to shore, a teammate applied a tourniquet, and 200 stitches were needed for a calf wound. The incident followed a fatal bodyboarder’s death 18 months earlier. Sullivan defended sharks and took responsibility for his decision to surf where many sharks were present.
