Vice President Agnew hit back at federal probes and media leaks in a speech to more than 2,000 delegates, denying wrongdoing while railing against a “kangaroo trial” and seeking support amid ongoing investigations into bribery, extortion, and tax issues. His remarks followed calls by supporters for him to keep battling the Cost of Living Council and public criticism of the Justice Department.

FDA limits on Vitamin A and D spark legal challenge
The National Nutritional Foods Association and Solgar Co. won an expedited hearing before the U.S. Court of Appeals but were denied a stay. They argue FDA rules banning Vitamin A above 10,000 IUs and Vitamin D above 400 IUs will raise costs and exceed dietary needs, noting common foods like carrots and beef liver exceed the limits. They warn the diet restrictions could double supplement costs while RDAs show modest requirements, especially for infants and children.
