University head Bulger takes Fifth at congressional hearing
William Bulger refused to answer questions about contact with his fugitive brother James Whitey Bulger invoking the Fifth Amendment during two days of House Government Reform Committee hearings. The UMASS president said he had no knowledge of his brother's whereabouts, despite previous testimony about a prearranged call after Whitey fled in 1995. Burton expressed disappointment at the lack of answers while noting Whitey Bulger remains among the ten most wanted fugitives.

Court upholds California assault weapon ban ruling
A 9th U S Circuit Court of Appeals panel in San Francisco ruled that the Second Amendment does not guarantee individuals the right to bear arms. The decision says the amendment protects state militias, not private gun ownership, aligning with California’s ban and opposing a 2001 New Orleans ruling. NRA reacts cautiously on potential impact.
