Ohio lawmakers eye nonpartisan path on death penalty bill
Representatives plan to merge two death penalty bills in a move to a more deliberative and nonpartisan process in the Ohio House, while the Senate approved a capital punishment measure for certain aggravated murders after hearings. The ACLU urged rejection, arguing the penalty is a costly, ineffectual tool that disproportionately harms the poor and minorities.

Pot use dips not hard drugs in 1980 high school seniors
University of Michigan researchers report a drop in marijuana use among high school seniors in 1980, the first decline in 20 years, while experimentation with harder drugs shows a rise. The overall illicit drug use appears to have leveled off, with experts noting drug-free eras may not return. Lloyd Johnston cites a near end to the two-decade rise in youth drug involvement.
