New Loyalty Oath Still Possible in Kansas
A three judge federal panel in Kansas City invalidated the Kansas loyalty oath as a condition of state employment. Attorney General Sonderholm said enactment of another oath is possible, noting a 1967 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in a New York case that legislation sanctioning membership without intent to further unlawful goals may violate the constitution.

A Research Project The Nicotine Habit How Come
A new experimental smoker's test may reveal why certain people become hooked on cigarettes and offer quitting clues. The test uses about 15 questions to identify six gratification patterns and examines how smoking suppresses emotions. Findings show 10 percent use smoking as a stimulant, eight percent enjoy handling and lighting, and 30 to 40 percent use it to relax. Forty to forty five percent puff to lift negative feelings, up to 10 percent light up by habit, and 25 percent show psychological addiction with positive elements from smoking. Some have multiple patterns, and a dangerous mix of psychological addiction with mood suppression makes quitting hardest.
