Ruling Clouds Ohio Obscenity Law In Porn War
U S District Judge John Manos ruled Ohio obscenity law vague and broad, halting arrests in Cleveland. The decision declares parts unconstitutional, sets a new standard on hard core pornography, and defines what counts as obscene as depictions of sexual activity, not mere nudity.

Western powers veto South Africa sanctions but back arms embargo
The United States Britain and France vetoed three African resolutions demanding tough sanctions against South Africa, while agreeing to support an arms embargo. Canada and West Germany joined in a milder weapons boycott call as the Security Council planned informal talks. In Washington the House denounced Pretoria’s policies and urged action, amid Soweto student protests and the death of Steve Biko. Canada and West Germany proposed a broad arms embargo, targeting sales of weapons and related matériel to South Africa. France and Israel remain major suppliers, but Pretoria could weather a Western boycott as most weapons are domestically produced.
