Obscenity Case Impacts Macon Bookseller
Macon Georgia based bookseller Ken Moffett faces obscenity charges for selling The Joy of Sex. Despite two years on bestseller lists, the publisher Simon and Schuster says he is the only person charged in the country. Moffett was arrested last August after the Supreme Court broadened local obscenity powers. He was bound over to state court and released on a $300 bond as motions to suppress await a hearing date. The case has prompted Simon and Schuster officials to visit Macon and spurred changes in the citys handling of obscenity complaints. Investigator Ellis Evans cites anonymous complaints as triggering police action.

Gas price fears rise to eighty cents a gallon
Raleigh AP The North Carolina Service Station Association director Avery Upchurch warned gasoline could reach 80 cents per gallon if crude oil supply remains tight and prices stay high. He predicted a 50 to 60 cent level may persist later this year, attributing the surge to an energy shortage caused by oil companies. He urged disclosure of inventories and relaxation of allocations. Consumer advocate Ralph Nader told lawmakers there is no oil shortage and criticized oil firms for collusion with government support. Upchurch, a Raleigh dealer, said some stations favor regular customers and sees no issue with that.
