It was the second wallop of a verdict against the K.K.K. lately. In a case also handled by Dees, an Alabama jury last year awarded $7 million to the late Beulah Mae Donald, whose son Michael was lynched in 1981. Jubilant last week, Dees nevertheless insisted he believes "the Klan has a right to exist," if not to harass. Adds Dees: "This is not just an attempt to put the Klan...

Declared J.R. Thompson, director of the Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama: "One good launch doesn't make a space program, but it's a damn good start...
...systems, Pinky Nelson began the first of eleven science experiments: growing crystals, which form more precisely in zero gravity, of specialized proteins such as gamma interferon and an enzyme found in the AIDS virus. By studying the crystals, scientists at the Center for Macromolecular Crystallography at the University of Alabama-Birmingham hope to learn more about the structure of the proteins, which may enable researchers to create new disease-fighting drugs. Other experiments scheduled during the mission included the production and study of crystalline organic thin films, evaluation of an onboard infrared communications system and the production in four space...
