Minority Workers Win Seniority Ruling
The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that discriminatory employment policies in effect before the Civil Rights Act cannot be challenged in court. The decision preserves existing union seniority lists that on their face do not discriminate, potentially keeping past discrimination without legal remedy. The ruling also limited government intrusion on family living rights, and allowed the imprisonment of Mitchell and Haldeman to proceed. The justices also agreed to hear whether fathers of illegitimate children can object to their children's adoptions.

Pill Benefits Outweigh Unproven Warnings Study
Washington AP Two George Washington University researchers Ward Rhinehart and Judy Felt say birth control pills’ benefits outweigh unproven cancer risks. Their report in Population Reports reviews studies on oral contraceptives and benign and malignant tumors, noting no strong link to cervical or endometrial cancer and potential protection against benign breast tumors. They caution the topic is hard to study and some sequential pills have been withdrawn in various countries due to cancer concerns, while rare benign liver tumors remain a hazard.
