Senate Rejects GOP Move To Limit Campaign Law Revision
The Senate failed by one vote to limit revision of the 1974 campaign finance law to restructuring the Federal Election Commission. The 47-44 tally keeps broader changes alive, with the FEC poised to lose authority to certify candidates for federal grants unless a law is passed by March 2.

Sleepy Juror May Be Held In Contempt
A District of Columbia Superior Court juror who nodded off during a misdemeanor trial faces possible contempt charges. Judge Joseph Hannon warned Douglas Smith to secure a lawyer and attend a March 26 hearing after Smith’s two sleep incidents contributed to a mistrial when another juror was excused for a relative's death. The defendant, Robert Wherry, resisted a verdict by 11 jurors, including an alternate, and the hearing follows FBI background on a later unsubstantiated plot inquiry.

Democratic candidates map differing full employment plans
In North Carolina the leading Democratic presidential hopefuls propose varied paths to full employment. Carter blends private plus public programs with zero base budgeting and a lean federal structure. Wallace touts tax reform and public works with capped spending. Jackson backs heavy government spending on housing roads and schools and a guaranteed job, with monetary policy changes. Udall did not campaign in state.
