Court Expands Study On Children Rights
The Supreme Court agreed to broaden its review of whether children can challenge parental commitment to mental hospitals. It will examine Pennsylvania and Georgia laws next year, weighing children's due process rights against parental authority. The Pennsylvania and Georgia statutes were struck down for limiting youths rights, with lower courts ruling against parental representation in commitment cases and mandating adversary hearings within days of admission.

Royals Stadium Tops In AL Attendance
Kansas City Royals GM Joe Burke says the team aims for two million in 1978 attendance as Royals Stadium leads the American League. The club has drawn 800,000 by late spring, well ahead of the AL average, boosted by two straight division titles and a base of 10,000 season tickets. Burke credits hard work, consistency, and owner Ewing Kauffman’s commitment for keeping the club in Kansas City.
