DALLAS — A band of tor-
nadoes that swept across parts
of rural Texas over the week-
end flattened buildings, tore
the roofs off other structures
and forced people to rush for
shelter, the National Weather
es Tuesday after looting and
arson erupted in Baltimore fol-
lowing the funeral of a black
man who died in police cus-
tody.
It was the first time the
National Guard was called in
to quell unrest in Baltimore
since 1968, when some of the
same neighborhoods were con-
vulsed by violence after the
assassination of the Rev. Mar-
tin Luther King Jr.
For the second year in a row,
the Rusk County Airport will
host a fly-in and air show. This
year’s event will take place 9
a.m. to 4 p.m. on June 6.
The theme is “Remembering
D-Day.” Show organizer and
airport manager Ron Franks
says, “Since June 6th is the
71st anniversary of D-Day, this
air show gives us the oppor-
tunity to look back and thank
those veterans who sacrificed
so much for the freedoms and
opportunities that we enjoy

WASHINGTON - Pivotal
Supreme Court Justice Antho-
ny Kennedy asked skeptical
questions of both sides Tuesday
as the high court heard historic
arguments over the right of gay
and lesbian couples to marry.
Kennedy, whose vote could
decide the issue, said mar-
riage has been understood as
one man and one woman for
“millennia-plus time.” He said
same-sex marriage has been
debated in earnest for only
about 10 years, and he won-
dered aloud whether scholars
and the public need more time.
“It’s very difficult for the
court to say ‘We know better,”’
Kennedy told Mary Bonauto, a
lawyer representing same-sex
couples.
Yet Kennedy also pressed
attorney John Bursch, rep-
resenting the states that ban
same-sex marriage, to explain
how granting gay couples a right
to marry would harm tradition-
al marriages. Bursch argued
that removing child-rearing as
the central rationale for mar-
riage would weaken parents’
commitment to staying married
for their children’s sake if their
own ties were frayed.
Justice Samuel Alito sug-
gested that basing marriage on
lasting bonds and emotional
