"Quayles ((sic)) made a pass," read the handwritten notes, made available last week by Washington Attorney Glenn Lewis. "Said would like to sleep with you. Said no -- I'm ((with)) Tom.

Shielded by two bulletproof glass partitions, Defendant Mohammed Ali Hammadi rose to his feet last week to read a statement that startled spectators in the Frankfurt courtroom. The Lebanese terrorist confessed to participating in the 1985 hijacking of a TWA airliner to Beirut but denied that he murdered one of the plane's passengers, U.S. Navy Diver Robert Stethem.
