Becket Tops Nude Entertainment Case Returns to Court
Cavern operator Edward Becker won a favorable ruling from Circuit Judge Francis Maxwell who held that the St. Clair County Excise Commission ban on topless wait staff was unconstitutional. The court said nudity itself isn’t obscenity and nudity in entertainment is protected by the First and Fourteenth Amendments. Becker resumed operations with three topless waitresses while officials plan to rewrite the ordinance to bar this conduct.

Demo committee victory over Daley forces in DNC rules
The Democratic National Committee won a crucial constitutional clash in Washington overturning a district court ruling that barred a minority balance rule for convention delegations. The ruling supports proportional representation by race age and sex and could unseat some Daley aligned Chicago delegates as the Credentials Committee prepares to begin deliberations. The decision affects about 1,100 delegates and emerged as a major reform victory. Separately Brooklyn Museum received a $10000 grant from the van Ameringen Foundation to support its summer education program.
