Few Car Owners Seek To Deactivate Airbags
The number of requests for on off air bag switches remains low as dealers report limited equipment and uncertainty over costs. Frederick Motor Co and Damascus Chevrolet note only a handful of forms requested on Monday, with dealers weighing liability and labor time against possible parts expenses. National totals show about 5 000 switches approved nationwide, far below expectations.

King death a great unknown says Hood College professor
Hood College professor Dr Gerald McKnight questions the official King assassination account on the day of remembrance. He calls the case a great unknown, cites two tragedies including inadequate defense for James Earl Ray, and notes King’s shift from civil rights to questioning U.S. foreign policy. He says Ray’s representation was lacking while denying he supports a conspiracy. He links King to other leaders who questioned Cold War aims without asserting a specific culprit.

Gephardt spent four to five months researching Francis Scott Key to present a fuller portrait beyond the Star-Spangled Banner. He portrays Key as a reformer active in education for poor children, repatriation efforts, Baltimore improvements, and 19th century politics, drawing on sources at the Maryland and Frederick Historical Societies, the Library of Congress, and biographies. He performs with the Baltimore Maritime Museum and discusses his Q&A sessions after readings.
