Maryland ruling threatens right to bear arms
The Maryland Court of Appeals ruled that handgun makers and sellers can be sued for damages if their products are used in crimes, a decision praised by gun control advocates but condemned as an overreach that could push cheap handguns from the market, limit self defense options for the poor, and set a risky legal precedent beyond Maryland.

Flight delay amid bomb scare foreshadows Lauro crisis
Copley News Service columnist Ralph de Toledano recalls a four and a half hour Heathrow delay while ground crews searched for a bomb on a British Airways flight. He notes two missing passengers, the ensuing luggage purge, and a tense calm before the flight resumed. He links aviation security to global terrorism, contrasting past NKVD threats with modern indiscriminate violence. He criticizes State Department moves toward U.S.-Soviet anti-terror cooperation and argues for decisive action against terrorist networks while acknowledging civil liberties concerns. He emphasizes terrorism as a sustained threat driven by the KGB and questions how to balance security with American liberties.
