This policy transition was controversial, causing friction with U.S. allies, with the nuclear power industry, and with Congress. Early in his presidential campaign, Carter criticized the excessive federal financial commitment to developing plutonium-based reactors and adopted the view that the weapons proliferation risks of plutonium economy technologies were serious and needed to be addressed.

  • Date April 26, 2013 Case Number 2009 (Wa) 26989 Court Tokyo
    Date April 26, 2013 Court Tokyo District Court, Case number 2009 (Wa) 26989 47th Civil Division – A case in which the court found that the defendant's use of the photos of the plaintiffs, who are members of idol groups, in books without their authorization, infringed what is generally known as the publicity rights of the plaintiffs and is illegal under the tort law. In conclusion, the court upheld the plaintiffs' claims for an injunction against the publishing and sale of these books, and for the disposal of said books, and also partially upheld their claims for damages. In this case, the plaintiffs, who are members of idol groups, alleged that the defendant published and sold books while using the plaintiffs' photos in these books without their authorization, and thereby infringed their rights to exclusively use the customer appeal of their portraits, etc., as well as what is generally known as portrait rights. Accordingly, the plaintiffs sought an injunction against the publishing and sale of these books, demanded the disposal of said books, and claimed damages. In accordance with the gist of the judgment of the First Petty Bench of the Supreme Court of February 2, 2012, Minshu Vol. 66, No. 2, at 89, the court referred to a person's right to exclusively use the customer appeal of his/her own portrait, etc. as a publicity right and stated that this right is one of the rights derived from a right of personality. The court then held that "the unauthorized use of portraits, etc. of a person is considered to be infringement of the person's publicity right and is found to be illegal under the tort law if the sole purpose of the use is to take advantage of the customer appeal of the portraits, etc.

    1 Williams v. Rhodes: How One Candidate, One State, One Week, and One Justice Shaped Ballot Access Law INTRODUCTION In 1968, the Supreme Court broached a new field of constitutional law when it decided Williams v. Rhodes. Faced with popular Alabama Governor George Wallace’s challenge to Ohio’s complex and restrictive ballot access laws, the Court ordered him onto the ballot. The opinion’s rationales had far-reaching implications and produced complicated jurisprudence. It was a signpost to nowhere, and the Court has been trying to find the right direction since, attempting to massage coherence into its ballot access jurisprudence by employing different rationales and scrutiny levels. This Note describes and explains the political, historical, and legal factors impacting the Williams decision. Since Williams, the Court has used the Equal Protection Clause and the First Amendment; strict, intermediate, and rational basis scrutiny; a balancing test; and a system incorporating all of this accumulated flotsam less the Equal Protection Clause. This jurisprudence has left unclear instructions to lower courts. The Court should remedy this confusion by picking a single standard with prudent legal rationales and sound historical bases. The political environment of 1968 and Ohio’s anti-democratic legal framework compelled the Justices to place Governor Wallace on the Ohio ballot. Wallace’s campaign represented a national movement. Denying his supporters the chance to vote for him would have been political folly, and Ohio’s laws kept all but the Democratic and Republican parties from the ballot, which forced the Court’s hand on the issue. But the Court’s first foray into the field of ballot access law created a jurisprudential obstacle course that the Court has contorted its way through since 1968.
