Blackmun’s Rising Role Shapes Next Supreme Court Term
Washington AP reports freshman Justice Harry A. Blackmun may swing the high court as it reopens with eight justices. His anticipated alignments with Chief Justice Burger and conservative jurist Harlan could influence cases on obscenity, desegregation, fines versus jail terms for nonpayment, the death penalty, draft evasion, and free speech issues. The term could see key decisions on payment-exemption defenses and several high-profile state and public interest cases pending before October.

One Man Vet Runs Free Wildlife Rescue Foundation
Dr. Jim Naviaux, a 38 year old horse specialist and founder of the California Wildlife Health Foundation, cares for injured wildlife at his own expense. He has treated snakes, foxes, raccoons, owls and seabirds, performing operations with his wife Mary and four sons assisting. He recalls helping a king snake with a broken spine and a deer with a broken leg and concussion. Despite backing from notable officials and associations, he runs the venture solo to provide care when facilities are lacking. He gained praise for aiding seabirds after the Santa Barbara oil spill and even housed them at his home hospital aviary.
