Nazi saboteurs case set wartime justice precedent
In June 1942 eight German saboteurs landed on Long Island and Florida to blow railways and factories. All were arrested within two weeks and six executed after a secret military trial. Dasch and Burger, who aided confessions, had their sentences commuted. The affair shaped later debates on military tribunals and detentions.

Fire threatens mountaintop observatory in Arizona
Firefighters widened a defensive ring around Mount Graham International Observatory to shield the $120 million Large Binocular Telescope under construction. The blaze grew to over 6,200 acres near Emerald Peak, prompting evacuations of the observatory and 85 cabins as crews use bulldozers and a sprinkler system to protect the facility and its instruments.
