Mississippi Opens Jury Boxes To Women In State Courts
Mississippi has adopted a law allowing women to serve on state court juries, making it the last state to join the trend that began decades ago. The move follows federal court challenges to the previous all male juries, while proponents cite equality and past federal service. Senator Jean Muirhead of Jackson led the amendment and predicted women will perform well on juries.

Hermes, smaller, passed 485000 miles away in 1937, and Icarus is expected to miss by a larger margin on its 10 year return. Astronomers hint future methods may divert such objects. Stir up the gift of God, which is in thee.

Supreme Court ruling upends Alabama substituting fathers aid rule
The unanimous Supreme Court held Alabama’s substitute father provision invalid under federal law, affecting 50,000 to 100,000 families and potentially expanding aid to many not now eligible. The decision centers on the term parent and rejects disqualification of needy children based on a mother’s intimate relationship with another man. Mrs. Sylvester Smith of Selma, a cook with four children, challenged the regulation as unconstitutional legalism over morality.
