Patchwork Repairs Begun On Bermuda Star Gash Off Cape Cod
The Coast Guard said calmer seas allow patching a huge gash on the Bermuda Star, with about 7,500 gallons already spilled and 100,000 gallons still aboard. Repairs, unloading delayed by rain and rough seas, as crews assess hull integrity and wildlife threats near Buzzards Bay and Naushon Island.

Supreme Court rules states cannot veto federally ordered guard training
In a unanimous decision Justice Stevens wrote that a governor's consent is not needed for federal peacetime National Guard training abroad. The ruling dismisses Minnesota Governor Perpich's challenge to the 1986 law, stating Congress may call forth the militia without limiting state veto power. Dukakis and other governors opposed the policy as a matter of foreign policy.
