HIGHLIGHTS Rulings in brief
Highlights of other actions taken Monday by the Supreme Court. The justices:

Allowed prosecutors to use victims' statements to 911 operators or police during emergencies even if those victims don't testify in court, ruling 9-0 and 8-1 in two cases.
Agreed to hear a second Bush administration appeal that seeks to reinstate a federal ban on what opponents call partial-birth abortion.
Refused to block part of the six-month-old Medicare prescription drug program, a defeat for states that claim they may get stuck with the bill.
Rejected an appeal from Holocaust survivors in the U.S. who claim they have been cheated out of a fair share of a $1.25 billion settlement over looted assets.
