...single person in more than two years. Whether that moratorium continues may depend largely on the fate of a Negro named William Maxwell, who has been condemned to death in Arkansas for raping a white woman. Among other things, Maxwell argues that his 14th Amendment right to due process was violated because there were no statutory standards to govern the jury's decision on whether he should be executed or imprisoned. Although the Justices are quite unlikely to abolish capital punishment, they could rule in favor of Maxwell on the jury issue, which might persuade the states...

They were aimed at propping the growers' income, but in the process they raised the price of U.S. cotton above the going world rate. The Government's solution to that problem was to subsidize exports, beginning in 1956. That move, in turn, created a crisis for domestic mill ers, who complained that they had to pay more for U.S. cotton than...
