...Radcliffe sophomore was stabbed at 12:30 p.m. last night in the dining room of Jordan J by an unidentified blond man. The man ran out of the dorm immediately after stabbing Minnie Liu '71 in the thigh with a knife. He reportedly came into the dorm "looking for girls," grabbed the girl on bells, who screamed and ran into the dining room; he followed her, and stabbed Miss Liu, who had her back to him. Miss Liu was taken to the University Health Services, and is reportedly in no danger. As of 1:30 a.m. this morning, Cambridge police...

The airlines and electronics firms are working on weapons-detection systems to spot armed passengers during boarding. One company has developed a device that it claims can distinguish a gun or knife from other metal objects, at a cost of under $1,000 per installation. While each skyjacking costs an airline around $8,500, the carriers are reluctant to spend the amount necessary to search each passenger on every plane that might conceivably be skyjacked...
