More precisely, it appeared that the terrorists came to hijack -- and stayed to kill once their plans went awry. Three hours before the shooting began, a rental car loaded with explosives blew up in the Athens suburb where the Poros was due to dock later in the day; the two people in the car were killed. Greek police speculated that the terrorists planned to take over the vessel, bring the explosives onto the ship and turn the Poros, with 505 aboard, into a floating bomb. The gunmen on the vessel might have learned of the car explosion and decided...
...suspect was identified, from a picture taken by the ship's photographer before the rampage, as Mohammed Zozan, described by police as a 21-year-old holding a Lebanese passport.

But others in the state were constantly fixing things -- a truth dreadfully confirmed for him in 1970, the year he lost his race for the lieutenant governorship.

Though even Cardenas did not directly accuse the P.R.I. of complicity in the crime, many...
Three years ago, Barbara Chernow's husband was struck and killed by a New York City police car driven by a drunken officer. Chernow sued the city for $29 million, partly for the loss of her husband's future income. Because her husband was 71 at his death, the jury might have concluded that his income- producing years were mostly behind him. No problem. Her attorney was 86. Who better to demonstrate, after all, that a man still has earning power after his hair turns gray? "Chernow was in excellent health," argued the spry attorney. "He could have well outlived...
