Coffee prices rise but shoppers keep buying in spite
Shoppers across the United States continue to buy coffee despite price hikes driven by frost in Brazil, war in Angola, and Guatemala earthquakes. Consumers say they switch to cheaper brands, use coupons, or brew less but consumption remains steady, with some foreseeing a future drop if prices stay high. Industry executives note no widespread decline yet, as restaurants and stores maintain demand while per capita use trends downward over decades.

Court orders HEW to act on desegregation in 46 districts
Judge John Sirica says HEW failed to enforce desegregation nationwide and orders action within 60 to 120 days. The ruling targets 46 districts including New York City Los Angeles Chicago Tucson Omaha and Waterbury under threat of losing federal funds. Officials dispute the need for new enforcement noting many districts are voluntarily desegregating and that several have already agreed to compliance plans.

Howe jury trial in Utah hits snags and recesses
Objections by Rep. Allan T. Howe's attorney stalled the police led case in a misdemeanor solicitation for sex trial in Salt Lake City. A three woman one man jury was seated and heard limited testimony before a recess as prosecutors planned to reorder witnesses including two decoy prostitutes and several officers.
