When the dust cleared from the first open-court scrap between the lawyers in the Baltimore City Hall corruption cases, Baltimore Mayor Sheila A. Dixon had scored a small pre-trial victory and more details about the state's evidence against developer Ronald H. Lipscomb and City Councilwoman Helen L. Holton had emerged. Prosecutors and attorneys for the three defendants had come to iron out preliminary disclosure disputes, but they clearly had the upcoming trials in mind and were not shy about previewing the arguments likely to decide the cases.

The state Supreme Court on Tuesday will hear arguments in a case involving the release of state records to the Tribune-Review under Pennsylvania's Right to Know Law.

NO ONE will know with certainty why Tyler Clementi jumped off the George Washington Bridge last September. The Rutgers student allegedly had been secretly filmed having a sexual encounter with another man.

And I do want any individual who knew what was happening, while it was happening, to face a judge and jury in open court.
