Judge Rules Smithsonian Not Required to Present Bible
U S District Judge Barrington D. Parker ruled the Smithsonian need not offer a complementary biblical origin exhibit alongside its evolution display. He dismissed claims by Dale Crowley Jr and two religious groups that the museum should present the biblical account with equal emphasis, rejecting their request to block or balance the $463 200 exhibit plan.

Wallace To Bow Out In Style Benefit For Wallace
Gov. George Wallace will leave office with a Jan 6 benefit headlined by Barbara Mandrell. Proceeds fund a new luxury car for Wallace and, if left over, home modifications and rehabilitation equipment in Montgomery. The event's purpose ties to his paralysis since 1972 and his political career. The piece also touches on related legal cases about evolution and education and remarks by Crowley and Judge Parker.

Rail Freight Rate Hike Moves Forward Amid Inflation
Washington AP reports the ICC approved a 7 percent rail freight rate increase, with rail executives warning inflation will erode gains and plans for further rises. The commission set ceilings on certain products, limiting wheat, barley, coal, plastics, and machinery increases, while only a small portion of rail traffic fully uses the rate change. The move aims to add about 1.4 billion dollars in annual revenue, potentially rising to 1.5 billion with future item-specific increases.
