An Athens paper said most capital detainees would soon gain freedom while a small number face detention. Former President Papadopoulos was reportedly under house arrest as Gen Ioannides consolidates power, purging officers and reshaping leadership across the armed forces.

Bay State moves to restore death penalty in some cases
Massachusetts lawmakers move toward restoring capital punishment for select first degree murders. The compromise bill, approved by Senate on a voice vote and by House 132 to 91, awaits formal enactment before going to Gov. Sargent. It targets murders of officers, kidnapping related killings, hijacking or armed robbery, hired killer cases, and murders with extreme cruelty. The measure follows a recent high profile arson murder in Boston.
