Group actions on spheres with rank one isotropy
We show that a rank two finite group G admits a finite G-CW-complex X
homotopy equivalent to a sphere, with rank one prime power isotropy, if and
only if G does not p'-involve Qd(p) for any odd prime p. This follows from a
more general theorem which allows us to construct a finite G-CW-complex by
gluing together a given G-invariant family of representations defined on the
Sylow subgroups of G.Comment: 16 page

Juris: Legal Information in the Department of Justice
JURIS is the computerized legal information system being developed by the Department of Justice for use by its attorneys. The system has been devised not only to help in statutory and case law research, but to provide access to memoranda, briefs, and other work products generated in daily departmental activity. From modest beginnings, JURIS has grown in use and in data-base capabilities. JURIS search strategy, which involves building up sets of data into a search tree has proven to be effective for its users. After a year-long evaluation project was completed in May 1975, the results indicated enough user acceptance to justify continuation and expansion of the program. JURIS plans for the future include an enlarged data base and receipt in early 1976 of a specially designed terminal tailored for JURIS and its users. The Department of Justice has an effective legal information resource in JURIS, which continues to grow in effectiveness with data-base expansion and new hardware acquisition
