Singapore rally seeks civil liberties amid political tension
About two thousand people gathered at an outdoor stadium in Singapore for an anti-government rally the first since independence 35 years ago. Speakers attacked the ruling party and urged civil liberties as Joshua Jeyaretnam faces ouster from Parliament. In Argentina a Techint chief and a La Nacion editor died in a Don Torcuato plane crash with eight others. The Cessna carrying ten people crashed 120 miles southwest of Buenos Aires, no survivors, en route to Trelew.

Witnesses' Vietnam memories of Thanh Phong raid
Bui Thi Luom says she was 12 when seven Americans stormed her Mekong Delta village. She recalls women and children rounded up, firing that killed 16 in her hut, 11 children and five women. The account follows Bob Kerrey's public acknowledgment of civilians killed. Kerrey denies Luom's version and condemns Times CBS reporting as propaganda. Five SEAL team members voiced support for Kerrey, saying they did not kill civilians. Kerrey says about 13 civilians were killed by mistake after returning fire in the Feb 25 1969 Thanh Phong raid. Luom contends no Viet Cong were present.
