Supreme Court to rule on death penalty next term
The Supreme Court will decide next term if the death penalty violates the Eighth Amendment. The court also reversed more than 30 death sentences, including Richard Speck’s for the 1966 Chicago nurse murders. Separate orders blocked executions for two test cases, James Crampton and Dennis McGautha, as the court weighs capital punishment’s reach while many appeals await resolution. Speck remains on death row at Joliet.

Lockheed warns on TriStar delays amid engine and loan talks
Lockheed warns that production of the Tristar may be delayed as Eastern Air Lines plans to return 747s for higher priority aircraft. Haughton cites a $250 million loan needed for Tristar production and asks Britain to extend Rolls Royce engine delivery. Congressional action on loan guarantees is delayed until after the summer recess. Douglas meanwhile delivers its first DC-10s next month while Lockheed faces Rolls Royce and bankruptcy-related financing hurdles.
