"They were mortaring around the airport at Amman when we took off. We couldn't see where the fire was coming from but we heard it."
Lana Mardi, daughter of a Jordanian civil servant, said, "We were loaded on the plane and then rocket-firing started. They took us all off and sheltered us until it died down. Then we went aboard again."

Allan Blumenthal, Cleveland senior, and editor of Shalom, a publication of the Jewish Hillel club, expressed displeasure with the rally's theme.
"My people have lived with bloodshed for 23 years. American intervention would only increase that bloodshed," he said.

Penn Central Law Violations Are Possibility
WASHINGTON (UPI) — A House Commerce subcommittee said Thursday it has "strong evidence" suggesting that officials of the Penn Central Railroad may have violated federal laws prior to the company's bankruptcy last June.
Chairman Torbert H. MacDonald, D-Mass., said there might have been "substantial violations" of law resulting from:
- Penn Central "insiders" selling large blocks of stock before the public was informed of the firm's financial situation.
- Failure of the railroads to supply complete information in prospectuses filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC).
- Failure of Penn Central to file required reports with federal regulatory agencies.
MacDonald spoke at the opening of a hearing by the subcommittee to inquire into ICC and Securities and Exchange Commission regarding Penn Central.
