Supreme Court Tightens One Man One Vote Standards
In a 6-3 decision Justice Brennan led a ruling requiring states to justify any variance from perfect population equality in state and federal districts. Missouri’s plan, with a 3.13% gap above and 2.83% below the ideal, was rejected as insufficiently unavoidable. New York’s districting also failed the good faith and equal-population test.

Supreme Court Bans Tying Agreements In Lending
The Supreme Court ruled 5 to 4 that large corporations cannot condition loans on customers buying goods from them, expanding federal antitrust reach. The decision targeted U S Steel Homes Credit Corp tied to Fortner Enterprises in Louisville which required buying 219 prefab houses for at least 678,900 dollars as part of a 2.5 million loan package. Fortner had argued defects in the prefab homes but was barred from substituting conventional houses. The case began after a 1966 federal dismissal, followed by Cincinnati appeals and Fortner's appeal to the high court.
