...dispute over who killed 14-year-old Samuel Weaver intensified today when Larry Cooper, a federal marshal involved in the gunfight at Ruby Ridge, testified that he thought it was Randy Weaver himself who fired the fatal shot that killed his son. TIME's Elaine Shannon believes Cooper's testimony raises important questions about Randy Weaver's possible complicity in the shootout, which also left another U.S. marshal dead. Says Shannon: "Weaver wants us to believe that he fired his gun in the air to call his son back home after the marshals began firing." Samuel Weaver was killed...
...Horiuchi, the FBI sniper who shot and killed Randy Weaver's wife during a1992 Ruby Ridge shootout, took the Fifth Amendment today behind closed doors at the Senate. "There will be a lot more Fifth Amendment-taking to come," reports Elaine Shannon at the hearings. "Very soon, we will see a parade of some of the most respected FBI officials in the country doing the exactly same thing." Five FBI officials, including former deputy director Larry Potts, are under suspension amid federal criminal investigations concerning Ruby Ridge. Horiuchi, the sharpshooter, is facing potential criminal charges in Idaho...
...California Angels in Oriole Park at Camden Yards. That will break the record set by Lou Gehrig, the first baseman for the New York Yankees from 1925 until 1939.

When Cal Jr. was born, Cal Sr. was catching for Class B Fox Cities (Wisconsin) under manager Earl Weaver. (Weaver once claimed he knew even when Junior was a fetus that he was going to be a major leaguer.) An injury ended Senior's playing career soon afterward, so he embarked on a minor league managerial odyssey that took him to Leesburg, Florida; Appleton, Wisconsin; Kennewick-Richland-Pasco, Washington; Aberdeen, South Dakota; Elmira, New York; and Dallas. While Dad was away...
...finally made the majors in 1976 as one of Weaver's coaches. And in 1978 the Orioles made the star shortstop and pitcher for Aberdeen High School, Cal Jr., their fourth pick in the draft. His talent was so obvious that nepotism was never an issue. In 1982 the Orioles traded third-baseman DeCinces to the California Angels to make room for the kid he once carried to safety. Ripken missed only two games in his Rookie of the Year season, becoming the Orioles' shortstop on a permanent basis on July 1. In '83 Ripken was named the American League...
