Florida police are more cautious after enactment of liberal gun law
MIAMI — Worried police departments issued special warnings to officers yesterday as the state's first 100 concealed-weapons permits rolled off the presses under a new law allowing most Floridians to openly carry sidearms.
The law, which was passed in April after lobbying by the local chapter of the National Rifle Association, eased restrictions on gun

Then the new law also dropped an "open carry" provision which had prevented people from wearing guns in plain view. Lawmakers dispute whether that was an oversight, but there is little sentiment in the Legislature for changing the law.
WASHINGTON — The sweeping-in ceremony for FBI Director-designate William S. Sessions was called off yesterday after the former federal judge, suffering from a previously undiagnosed bleeding ulcer, became ill and fainted in the aisle of a Washington-bound jetliner.
Sessions, whose scheduled installation at FBI headquarters
was put off indefinitely, was
stricken Wednesday night on a
flight from Dallas to Washington
National Airport.
President Reagan visited Sessions at the hospital and told reporters: "He's fine." Asked if they discussed the confirmation battle over Judge Robert H. Bork, Reagan replied, "No."

Surrogate, 48, bears triplets
The Associated Press
South African is the first to give birth to own grandchildren
JOHANNSBURG, South Africa – A 48-year-old woman gave birth yesterday to her daughter's test-tube triplets, becoming the world's first surrogate mother of her own grandchildren.
Pat Anthony and the triplets, two boys and a girl, were reported to be doing well after the early-morning deliveries by Caesarean section at Johannesburg's Park Lane Clinic.
The private clinic declined to disclose further details of the highly publicized case. The family sold exclusive rights to the story, South Africa's first surrogate birth, to The Mail on Sunday newspaper of London.

"It was an act of love." Anthony's husband, Raymond, was quoted as saying shortly after the pregnancy
Anthony agreed to bear the children of her 25-year-old daughter, Karen Ferreira-Jorge, whose uterus was removed after complications from the birth of her first child, a son, three years ago.
was announced last spring.
Eggs from Ferreira-Jorge were fertilized with sperm from her husband, Alcino, in a laboratory process known as in vitro fertilization. Four eggs were implanted in Anthony's womb.
Normally, only one embryo develops in the process, but in this case three of the fertilized ova began growing, resulting in triplets.
The babies, delivered two weeks prematurely, weighed 4.6 pounds, 5 pounds and 2.8 pounds, said The Star, a Johannesburg daily.
"Legally, I could be your uncle," a
cartoon on the front page of The Star showed one triplet telling another.
The South African Press Association quoted an unidentified obstetrician as saying the smallest baby, the girl, was likely to be placed in an incubator until her weight increased. The doctor said it had remained conscious during the fourth hour operation after being given a local anesthetic.
Family members and medical staff refused to talk to local reporters. A British television crew clad in green medical outfits filmed the birth, but local reporters and photographers were not allowed access.
Karen Ferreira-Jorge, an aerobics instructor, was present for the birth, the press association said.
Iraqi attack kills ship captain
MANAMA, Bahrain — Iraqi warplanes fired a missile yesterday at a shrimp boat in the Persian Gulf and killed its Australian captain after Iranian speedboats had attacked at least three tankers within 24 hours, sources said.
The captain, identified as Robert Wellcock, died at the ship's helm when the missile hit the trawler's wheelhouse, sources said. Six other crewmen survived the attack.

crewman's 5-foot trawler Shenton Bluff was damaged but didn't sink, salvage executives said. They said the company decided to withdraw all its
trawlers after the attack.
trawlers are one of 10 jointly owned by the Australian firm Bluff Fisheries and a United Arab Emirates firm, al-Aquilli. The trawlers were on contract to the Iranian government, which charters foreign commercial ships.
Iran's official Islamic Republic News Agency, monitored in Cyprus, said it was the second fishing boat attacked this week by Iraq.

Iran usually stages such attacks in retaliation for Iraq air raids on its oil tankers. Iraq has claimed six such attacks since the weekend.
Key GOP senator opposes nominee
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Robert H. Bork's Supreme Court chances were dealt a severe setback yesterday when a key Republican senator joined three formerly undecided Southern Democrats in declaring opposition to President Reagan's opportune.
nominee.
Reagan, far from giving up, said,
"I'm working my head off to make sure that we don't lose it."
He said he had talked with Bork by telephone during the day and did not discuss withdrawing the nomination of the federal appeals court judge.
"I'm spending my time working as hard as I can to see that he gets confirmed as he should be." Reagan said.
sad:
The latest blows to Bork's chances for confirmation came when Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, a key Republican moderate, joined three previously undecided Southern Democrats in announcing they would vote to reject the nomination.
Ginger Specter said in a speech on the Senate floor that he was not swayed by a face-to-face meeting with Bork on Wednesday or by concerns of loyalty to party and to Reagan.
Vote to reject the speaker.
Asked about Specter, Reagan said,
"Why, naturally I am going to try to
change his mind."
