...service dispatcher Chris Lampropoulos from Queens, New York, was charged with felonious assault on a taxi driver after a car accident. Lampropoulos, 24, claimed that he beat the guy up in self-defense, and that he used his fists -- not a metal pipe, as charged. His family got in touch with Harvey A. Kaminsky, a seasoned trial lawyer in White Plains, New York, and even though Kaminsky agreed to lower his fees, they had to scrape together family loans to pay off the $15,000 it cost to bring the case to trial. For Lampropoulos, the lawyer employed...
DIED. HAROLD WILSON, 79, former British Prime Minister; in London. Wilson came to power in 1964, occupying No. 10 Downing Street for seven years, longer than any other 20th century peacetime premier except Margaret Thatcher. The silver-haired Labour Party leader was known for his pipe, raincoat and Yorkshire accent.

...million. In the home of one of them, police find a bombmaking manual called Jolly Roger's Cookbook, which, they say, had been downloaded from the Internet. In Albuquerque, New Mexico, a live grenade is found in a newspaper-vending box; a day later, police discover an 8-in. pipe bomb on a bridge. These incidents, which happened last week and caused no injuries, may seem almost mundane compared to tragedy on the scale of the Oklahoma City blast and the notoriety of the Unabomber. Yet they represent a far more insidious danger: America's growing fascination and familiarity with...
