Russo Balks Haircut and Enters Terminal Island Hole
Anthony J Russo, linked to Dr. Elisberg, is placed in solitary confinement at Terminal Island Federal Correctional Institution after refusing to trim his hair or shave his mustache. He began an indeterminate sentence for contempt of court for refusing to testify about the Pentagon papers, transferred from Los Angeles County Jail. Judge William P. Gray supported the isolation citing a policy to identify prisoners and citing prior cases on long hair. The ruling follows a related 1969 decision about inmates with beards and long hair, and the ACLU has argued against extended solitary confinement.

In Cambridge, Tricia Nixon Cox and husband Edward Finch Cox face a rent rise when their new two bedroom apartment moves in next month. Their $180 a month case on a third-floor walkup started in June and remains outside the wage and rent freeze. Cox will pay $25 more per month than the prior tenant. In Hartford, a one month old girl died after ingesting nonphosphate laundry detergent. Arthur Blank, director of the Poison Information Center, said he has not seen infant deaths from such ingestion in 14 years on duty, and federal authorities were notified.
