Commas and spacing after sentences
When using a comma in a list or series is it now correct to omit the last comma before the "and" (i.e. good, bad and ugly)? I need the document name or reference authority on this?
Is it now correct to space only once between sentences (as opposed to twice)? I need the supporing document name or reference authority?
Thank you.

It is always correct to use the Oxford comma. I would argue that it is even more correct than omitting it. At any rate, it is definitly much clearer.
