Court rules Game of Ringo not a lottery in 3 judge panel
A three judge Superior Court panel ruled that the Game of Ringo, though once convicted as gambling, is not a lottery as long as any player can participate without paying. The decision reverses the 1974 Long Beach Municipal Court ruling and could lead to dismissal of federal gambling conspiracy charges against Ray Shira and associates. The city plans an immediate appeal as prosecutors contend payment for play defines a lottery.

Hughes fortune may go for research in medicine
The Howard Hughes fortune, estimated at $2 billion, faces questions of ownership and direction after his death. Executives will run the aerospace, airline, and casino holdings, with no immediate impact expected on day-to-day operations at Hughes Aircraft. If funds go to medical research as his attorney suggests, estate taxes could drop federal taxes. otherwise, IRS notes a maximum 17 percent rate could apply, potentially $1.5 to $3.1 billion.
