Hecht pushes for sex predator legislation in Maryland
Delegate Sue Hecht urges passage of the Sexually Violent Predator Act to allow commitment of dangerous offenders after release. Gov’t officials including Attorney General Curran back the Kansas model, used to identify mentally abnormal predators likely to reoffend. The measure, sponsored by Hecht and Burns, aims to keep repeat offenders off the street with post prison commitments.

Death of King sparks debate on official story and mystery
Hood College professor Dr Gerald McKnight questions the official account of Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1968 assassination. He calls the case a "great unknown," cites Ray's guilty plea and later claims of innocence, and notes King's shift from civil rights leader to critic of U.S. foreign policy. He says one or more people were involved but offers no single culprit. The professor also links King, Kennedy brothers' deaths to a broader critique of Cold War policy.
