A Cross Burns in a Farmer’s Field - Smoke and flames rise from a cross burned in a farmer’s field near Rising Sun, Md., as the Ku Klux Klan stages its first rally in Maryland in more than 40 years. The rally, one of a series in at least four states, featured a memorial service for Daniel Burros, New York Klan leader who killed himself in Reading, Pa., when his Jewish background was disclosed, and for Matt Murphy Jr., Klan attorney from Birmingham, Ala., killed in an auto accident.
