...Allocations. Working from a 400-page set of regulations governing the amounts of gasoline to be distributed to various parts of the country, the department has attempted to foresee changes in demand and to match them with potential supply. It has failed. Even Energy Secretary James Schlesinger says his department's rules have "put the gasoline where the cars are not." Shifting of supplies has alleviated problems for some areas while worsening them for others. Two weeks ago, 21 states were experiencing gas lines.

...himself and Justices William Brennan, Thurgood Marshall and Byron White, accused the court of overreacting to the risks of prejudicial publicity in the Clapp murder case. News articles about the case were "placid, routine and innocuous," wrote Blackmun. "There was no screaming headline, no lurid photograph, no front-page overemphasis." Nonetheless, the court "reached for a strict and flat result," he said, an "inflexible rule" that ignores or pays little heed to "the important interests of the public and the press (as a part of that public) in open judicial proceedings...
