County records returned after 1973 political probe
Towson AP says Baltimore County records handed to federal prosecutors in 1973 amid the political corruption inquiry have been returned to the county. Fred J. Einschutz of the Department of Central Services noted the records arrived sporadically over the past year.

Officials were inconvenienced but able to review the records.

Research shows theories altered on smoking mothers
Johns Hopkins researchers say carbon monoxide from cigarette smoke disrupts fetal oxygen delivery in a bucket brigade process from molecule to molecule. Molecules prefer CO over oxygen, concentrating it in the fetus of a smoking mother and limiting oxygen for growth. They note placenta molecules may perform similar roles in humans and mention other chemicals from morphine Demerol and Thorazine as possible hindrances.
