Supreme Court allows Times and Post to publish Pentagon Papers
The Supreme Court in a 6 to 2 decision allows The New York Times and The Washington Post to publish stories from the secret Pentagon Papers on the Vietnam War. Justices Blackmun and Harlan dissented. The ruling upholds a lower court ruling permitting the Post to print while reversing a NY appeals court block on Times publication. The Gravel hearing exposed graded, sometimes redacted material, sparking national debate on press freedom and national security.

State board vs industry debates auto insurance rate rise
Texas state insurance board staff propose a 2.8 percent average increase for private passenger car rates, far below the industry’s 9.8 percent request. The gap stems from profit expectations and loss experience, with industry calls citing higher after tax profits and investment income. The board will weigh staff and industry figures before Sept. 1 rate changes. David B. Irons notes industry asks include 13 percent full coverage, 9 percent liability, and 8.4 percent collision raises amid recent catastrophe losses.
