New York’s mass transit system proved vulnerable to rain just three weeks ago. A freak storm during the morning rush hour dumped 3 inch es of rain, halting subway trains and disrupting commuter rail service. Hundreds of thousands of workers got to work late or not at all. The storm shut commuter rail ser vice north of Manhattan, temporari ly trapping roughly 15,000 com muters who had not joined the early rush out of the city. Limited service was restored a few hours later. The New York Stock Exchange stuck to regular hours, but the U.N. Security Council postponed a meeting on protecting civilians in war zones. U.N. officials said it was the first time in recent history that a formal, open meeting of the Security Council was derailed by bad weather.

This re ligion is [expletive],” Ashbrook was quoted as yelling during the attack. “I can’t believe you believe this junk and singing this.” Ashbrook lit and rolled a homemade pipe bomb down an aisle at one point. It exploded, but did not harm anyone. Seven people — choir jnem- bers, seminarians and high school students — lay dead or dy ing in the aftermath. Seven others were wounded, three seriously. Ashbrook then killed himself in a rear pew. llx- \svkiatiofi The Texas Aggie Yell leaders present “Weekend Slmnson Oril) Fieiti •Free Food • Live Music irom “Sly Loner and Last Free Ixir •Games b~' 1 in, mi. .1 • Football team will enter the field from the NW tunnel in The Zone at Kyle Field this season. • Seniors MUST ENTER AND EXIT the field from the NE tunnel. • NE gate will open during halftime to allow boot line participants to enter the field with 8:00 left on the scoreboard clock. • NE gate CLOSES with 5:00 on the scoreboard clock, after which NO ONE ELSE will be allowed on the field.
