Conviction Sparks Protests in San Francisco City Hall Riot
After a jury found the killings of Mayor Moscone and Supervisor Milk to be voluntary manslaughter rather than murder, about 5000 demonstrators, many of them gay, stormed City Hall, set patrol cars on fire, and damaged the building. Dozens injured, 20 arrests, property damage around 200000, tear gas used to disperse rioters as police watched. Milk would have turned 49 today, White faces up to nearly eight years. Mayor Feinstein called the verdict hard to accept.

Deputy Energy Secretary O Leary said tapping crude and gasoline stocks could raise supplies to about 96 97 percent of last year. The move marks a policy shift away from heating oil stocks toward gasoline adequacy amid price decontrol debates.

Farm implement tax exemption passes in Illinois Senate
Springfield AP The Illinois Senate approved a 35 5 measure to exempt agricultural implement dealers from the 4 percent state sales tax aimed at keeping farmers buying machinery in state. Sponsors cited estimates of lost revenue while noting dealers faced 80 closings last year. The tax break would phase in over 3 1/2 years and apply to purchases used in production of food with local governments free to grant the break on their share of the local tax.
