...fate of two men Nixon said he had considered pardoning was decided instead by the Supreme Court last week. There would be no review, said the court, of the convictions of John Ehrlichman and H.R. Haldeman-or of former Attorney General John Mitchell. All three had been convicted on Jan. 1, 1975 of a total of 14 felonies for their roles in the Watergate coverup, including obstruction of justice, conspiracy and perjury. They were sentenced to prison terms of from 30 months to eight years, with no possibility of parole for 2½ years...

A law passed by Congress last September eliminated the right of workers to exclude from taxes up to $100 a week in sick pay, raised taxes on Americans working abroad, and made both changes retroactive to Jan. 1, 1976. The new bill strikes out the retroactivity clause...
...joint Anglican-Catholic commission. To date, the commission has produced substantial agreement on the nature of the Eucharist, on each church's recognition of the other's ministries and on the "universal primacy" that should be held by the see of Rome in any future union (TIME, Jan. 31). Among the major differences still unresolved: the questions of marriage after divorce, the veneration of Mary and priestly celibacy...
