Calley Hopes My Lai Proves Eye Opener
Lt. William L. Calley Jr. faces possible death or life imprisonment after a court martial verdict convicting him of murdering 22 Vietnamese civilians at My Lai in 1968. He called My Lai an eye opener and urged the world to stop wars, while reaffirming belief in a strong Army and the need to avoid further conflict. The verdict, reading of premeditated murder convictions and related charges, ended a controversial trial noted as the longest in U.S. military history.

Baltimore insurer Samuel Shapiro, who blocked a 1968 sale, files suit against a 40 year lease with the city for Friendship Airport. His complaint, via Leo Kerpelman, alleges duress and unlawful taking without just compensation. The city would receive 1.4 million annually under the deal, which Shapiro calls inadequate and questions as misread.
