Sightseer appeals loss
of look at Titanic
RICHMOND, Va. — A man
who hopes to take a sightseeing
tour of the Titanic asked an ap
peals court Thursday to overturn
a judge’s ruling barring anyone
but the company that salvaged it
from making money off the
wreck.
“No state may exercise sover
eignty over the high seas,’’ said
Alex Blanton, attorney for
Phoenix businessman Christo
pher Haver, who wants to view
and photograph the ship 400
miles off Newfoundland.
U.S. District Judge J. Calvitt
Clarke Jr. ruled that an American
salvage company, R.M.S. Titanic
Inc., had exclusive rights to exca
vate, view and photograph the
wreckage.
In June, Clarke ruled against
plans by a British company,
Ocean Expeditions Ltd., to ferry
about 60 tourists, including
Haver, to the site. Clarke said the
expedition would devalue
R.M.S.’s rights and encourage
other would-be sightseers.
Most of the tourists dropped
out, but last month about a dozen
defied the judge’s order and made
the dive anyway, becoming the
first tourists to view the ship 2 1/2
miles under the Atlantic Ocean.
They could face contempt of
court charges.
Blanton argued that the right to
visit or photograph the wreck is
not inherent in R.M.S.’s salvage
rights.
Not so, said .R.M.S. attorney F.
Bradford Stillmam. Any judge in
any nation can claim jurisdiction
by “arresting" a wreck when a
salvor, in this case R.M.S., brings
an artifact to that court, Stillman
said.
At least 20 killed
in fire in discotheque
STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Fire
raced through a building that
houses a discotheque in the city
of Goteborg early Friday, killing
at least 20 people and possibly
more than 50, according to news
reports.
The fire broke out about mid
night in the building of the local
Macedonian Association,
Swedish national radio and the
news agency TT reported. The
cause was not immediately
known.
The fire was centered in a dis
m
cotheque on the second story of
the brick building. About 2 1/2
hours after the fire was reported,
some 20 bodies had been carried
out of the building, and there
were indications that as many as
50 people could be dead, TT said.
Hundreds of people were be
lieved to have been inside when
the fire broke out, TT said.
Michigan vandalism
linked to Wisconsin
MILWAUKEE — An environ
mental group linked to ski resort
fires in Colorado takes responsi
bility for freeing 5,000 mink from
an Upper Michigan farm in re
sponse to arrests of activists in
Wisconsin, an animal rights orga
nization says.
The North American Animal
Liberation Front said Wednesday
in a statement that the Earth Liber
ation Front claimed responsibility
for Monday’s release of mintfrom
the Pipkom Mink Farm in
Menominee County, Mich.
The Earth Liberation Front has
claimed responsibility for Oct. 19
fires in Vail, Colo., that caused $12
million in damage at the ski resort
community.

Imagine trying to do a research paper
without books, the Internet,
or software on your computer...
It'd be like trying to swim without arms,
or legs...totally helpless.
Gives you a sinking feeling, doesn't it?
So does Measure 59.
If the backers of Measure 59 have their way, every voter in Oregon will be set adrift come election time...left
to fend for themselves when it comes to making an informed decision on how to vote. Why? The voters'
pamphlet, one of our primary resources for information on ballots and candidates, will be totally gutted.
The Oregon Supreme Court already confirmed this, stating Measure 59 would make it illegal to have any
statements supporting or opposing candidates or ballot measures in the voters' pamphlet.
Worse yet, Measure 59 employs such vague language regarding the use of political money, it could lead to
a wave of uncharted legal challenges. For instance, does Measure 59 prohibit studeht fees from being
used to help prevent unnecessary tuition increases? These are the kinds of questions that will
have to be answered -- most likely in expensive court battles -- if Measure 59 slithers
by the voters on November 3rd.
You depend on the voters' pamphlet to present both sides
of the issues. Keep Measure 59 from making
shark bait out of the voters'
pamphlet...ana your vote.
Vote NO on 59
