Brussels Attack: Terrorists have struck again in Europe. At least 28 people are dead in bombings at the Brussels airport and in the metro system. Two explosions hit the departure area of Zaventem airport shortly after 8 am and an hour later a bomb went off in the Maelbeek metro station. A subway car was ripped apart.

The airport and the entire metro system are closed and Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel urged his citizens to “avoid all movement.”

Just four days ago authorities arrested Salah Abdeslam, the last living member of the team that carried out the Paris attacks last fall. In their raids, police found evidence that further attacks were being planned and they identified another suspect who may be a bomb maker.

Cubama: President Obama declared in Cuba yesterday that the economic embargo will end — he just doesn’t know when. “What we did for 50 years did not serve our interests or the interests of the Cuban people,” the president said at a joint press conference with Cuban President Raul Castro.

In private, the president had talked to Castro about human rights in the Cuban dictatorship. The talks were described as “candid,” which in diplomatic language means anything from blunt disagreement to shouting.

In the press conference, Castro responded to a question about political prisoners saying there are none in Cuba. “Give me a list of political prisoners and I will release them,” he said. And he listed Cuba’s free healthcare and education as human rights the US does not recognize.

Opening relations with Cuba still faces plenty of opposition, particularly from the two million Cuban immigrants and their offspring in the US.

Poll-itics: Primary voters go to the polls tomorrow in Arizona and Utah in the first event for Republicans since losing Marco Rubio.

A full 60 percent of Republicans say that they are embarrassed by their party’s primary campaign this year, according to a NY Times/CBS News poll. But 75 percent say they expect Donald Trump to be the party’s nominee. And finally, half of all voters say they would be scared if Trump is elected president.

Body Slam Two: The jury in the Hulk Hogan defamation lawsuit has awarded the retired fake wrestler an additional $25 million in punitive damages to be paid by the Gawker.com website. Just last week Hogan was awarded $115 million in damages because the website had posted a video of the Hulk having sex with his best friend’s wife.

Aside from its prurient interest, the case has ramifications for the gossip business and possibly even for traditional news outlets. Hogan successfully argued that posting the tape had no news value and was an invasion of privacy despite previous case law holding that public figures have little legal expectation of privacy.

Apple v. US: The Justice Department announced that it might not need Apple’s help to unlock the phone of one of the San Bernardino terrorists.

At about the same time Apple CEO Tim Cook said at a company rollout event, “We need to decide as a nation how much power the government should have over our data and over our privacy.”

The Obit Page: Andrew Grove, the longtime chief of Intel Corp. who was one of the primary drivers of the computer and Internet revolution, died at home in Los Altos, Calif. at age 79. Under his leadership, Intel computer and memory chips made their way into everything from toys and household electronics to cellphones and laptops. He was a tough competitor in a business that saw many companies fall by the wayside. His often-repeated slogan was, “Only the paranoid survive.”

The Shipping News: England’s Natural Environment Resource Council held a public contest to name its new highly technical polar research vessel. Among the runner-ups; “Pingu,” “Usain Boat,” and “It’s Bloody Cold Here.” The NERC said it was looking for a name that was inspirational, possibly the name of a great polar explorer. This is the country that has given its battleships such names as “Dreadnaught,” “Invincible,” and “Intrepid.” But the leader so far for the arctic vessel, with 27,000 votes, is “Boaty McBoatface.” They say they’ll take it under advisement.
