Casey's CIA position tested by Senate objections
White House officials said Republican members of the Senate Intelligence Committee raised strong personal objections to William J. Casey's fitness. Reagan backed Casey amid calls for resignation over past financial dealings viewed as technical, while Fielding called omissions minor. Many senators pledged not to prejudge Casey, but the White House worried about eroding support and hinted at internal pressure tied to Hugel's exit and preferences for Adm. Bobby Ray Inman.

Herrin artist Ken Caringer in city art purchase dispute
Herrin wildlife artist Ken Caringer faced a local controversy after Mayor Donald Swinford bought seven of his prints for the city at a total of 197 dollars. Some aldermen questioned the spending, though the council later approved the purchases. Caringer says he was misunderstood and hurt by the misperception that he sold the duck prints for much more, as he plans to pivot from an exclusive gallery deal to wildlife art production.
