He aims to cut unemployment by 1.5 points in his first year, while unemployment stands at 8.1 percent. Bert Lance argues a tax cut is likely and a broader stimulus package is planned.

The ruling voided Curfew Davis's sentence and also overturned George Street's death penalty, with five jurors excused for opposition to the penalty. Davis killed Ann Starnes in LaGrange, Ga., in 1974.
