Court Won't Review Army Surveillance Case
The Supreme Court, in a 5 to 4 decision, blocked a full hearing on the Army's civilian surveillance program begun in 1905. Chief Justice Burger said Congress, not the courts, should oversee executive actions, and the plaintiffs failed to show direct harm. The ruling limits a potential trial of military monitoring of civilians while noting long American resistance to military intrusion.

The first draft planks of the 1972 Democratic platform urge immediate and complete U S withdrawal from Indochina and take a middleground tack on racial school busing. The drafting committee sent two defense spending versions to the floor amid anticipated clashes between right and left. The Vietnam plank denounces Nixon and endorses withdrawal by October 1, 1972, while school busing split delegates with Wallace supporters pushing a desegregation goal without busing as the sole path.
