Pennsylvania moves to speed civil cases by allowing 10 of 12 jurors to render verdicts while criminal trials stay unaffected. The House approved 156 to 24 as 95% of trial judges endorsed the plan, arguing it would ease crowded dockets and save taxpayers time and money.
A humorous column reflects on the quirks of English pronunciation and spelling as a French learner, contrasting it with French, and ends with a local newspaper masthead and contact details for the Corry Evening Journal. The piece notes language oddities, then lists publisher and staff information and advertising terms.
The 1961 Trujillo assassination is linked by tortured conspirators to CIA involvement. They claim the CIA helped arm, encourage, and intended to save them, and that two U.S. diplomats and Lear Reed are tied to the plot. Family and officials deny direct CIA participation, while sources confirm awareness of the plot in general.
The piece blends vivid spring imagery with news that Martin Starger, head of ABC TV entertainment, will quit ABC on June 15 to start his own company. His firm will be exclusively contracted to ABC for series, specials, and TV movies, a move CBS and NBC say they have not mirrored with exclusive outfits.
Starger cites two reasons for ABC financing and exclusivity: they want 100 percent ownership of his efforts and provide financing. He denies ties to a federal antitrust suit and stresses the production company is 100 percent his, not ABC’s, with ABC simply financing and holding no ownership stake.
