Expert Says U S Kidding Itself Tf It Thinks Heroin
British narcotics expert Dr. P H Connell told a Strasbourg conference that the United States is fooling itself if it believes it has halted heroin flow to about 500000 addicts. He warned of a worsening supply, noted rising seizures abroad, and cautioned that U S policy focusing on heroin alone ignores dangers from barbiturates and amphetamines. He dismissed U S acceptance of heroin maintenance as unsustainable amid ready illegal supply.

Court Rules Equal Rights for Contraceptives Across Marital Status
The court held that rights to contraceptives must be equal for unmarried and married individuals under the Fourteenth Amendment. Justice Burger dissented, calling the ruling a strained constitutional use to shield a “quack” remedy. A second ruling barred prosecutors from using old convictions to discredit defendants, in a 5–4 decision. The dissenters included four Nixon appointees. The Harris County rape case gets a new hearing, with Otis Loper seeking to show past convic tions were invalid under a 1963 decision and that the jury may have been swayed by such references.
