Kerner Report echoes 50 years later on racial inequality
The Eco nomic Policy Institute finds little progress since the Kerner Commission identifying white racism as a core cause of housing, employment, and education disparities. Unemployment and incarceration rates for African-Americans remain far higher than for whites, with wealth gaps widening and homeownership stagnant. The report notes improved education yet persistent pay gaps and poverty, while a companion book highlights renewed re segregation and policing concerns.

Manafort faces steeper legal odds as Gates pleads guilty
Manafort's defense weakens as Rick Gates pleads guilty and Mueller indicts them in a 32 count case tied to offshore money laundering. Analysts say Gates cooperation could push Manafort toward a plea deal or a risky jury fight while two federal fronts run concurrently.

Judge orders written explanation for war court chief firings
At Guantanamo Bay the military judge in the Sept. 11 terror case said he would compel Defense Secretary Mattis to explain in writing why top war court official Harvey Rishikof and adviser Gary Brown were terminated. Pohl set a March 17 deadline for these declarations and noted no public reason has been given. Defense lawyers call the firings a coordinated decapitation of the Office of Military Commissions.
