Congress Abandons SST Fight and WWII Era Edits
Congress halted efforts to finance the supersonic transport as House and Senate negotiators failed to meet.

Nevada Aide Won’t Halt Open Prostitution, List Says
Nevada’s incoming attorney general-elect Robert List says he would back prostitution as it exists if local authorities prevent abuses and shut down privately owned brothels. He notes no state law legalizes or outlaws the business and Storey County is the only one with an ordinance. List praises Storey County officials for their direct approach while acknowledging widespread brothels in sparsely populated counties and near Las Vegas and Reno.
