Missouri abortion law challenged over minor rights and parental role
The case questions whether national standards override parental rights in abortions for minors under Missouri law. It notes consent requirements, the ward of the state provision for live births, and the saline method ban after 12 weeks. The U S Catholic Conference urges upholding the law while challengers cite federal precedent on public payments and Medicaid.

Kissinger Warns of Rough Equilibrium in U S Soviet Ties
Secretary of State Kissinger defended Ford policy in Dallas saying the United States and the Soviet Union stand in rough equilibrium and will not allow a Russian build-up or violated agreements to tilt the balance. He rejected critics of defense policy and compared claims of Soviet superiority to the 1960 missile gap. The Senate then refused to approve a detente resolution, sending it to committee 54 to 31, signaling doubt about detente’s gains. He also stated the U S will not accept further Cuban military interventions abroad.

Probation Favored for Hearst by Psychiatric Expert
A psychiatric expert who labeled Patricia Hearst as a queen of the Symbionese Liberation Army urges probation after her bank robbery conviction. Dr. Joel Fort says six months time served could be appropriate, noting no prior record and Hearst’s youth. He argues the maximum reasonable sentence might be five years, less than two years actual time.
