Supreme Court declines Calley parole case
The Supreme Court refused to review former Army Lt. William L. Calley Jr.’s My Lai murder conviction, letting a 1971 court martial conviction stand. Calley, 32, now on bail, was told by the Army secretary that he would be placed on immediate parole and not returned to prison. A New Orleans circuit court's 8-5 ruling reinstating the conviction remains in effect.

How Unemployment Figures Are Calculated by the Federal Government
A Q and A explains that unemployment figures come from the Current Population Survey conducted by the Census Bureau and analyzed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. About 52,000 households participate monthly, with a multi stage sampling design across 3,000 counties and 461 strata. Data are collected weekly via questionnaires, edited nationally, and used to provide a national picture rather than state estimates. State figures rely on local employer surveys and unemployment programs.
