Campion

I ADMIT a dark bias against what are known as "aggressive drivers," the ones - usually males between 18 and 45 - who speed, tailgate and weave through traffic. They breathe down your neck and roar up your spine. On highways and boulevards, side streets and county two-lanes, they intimidate average drivers, fill up our rear-view mirrors with grillwork, swerve within inches of our backsides and pollute the air with angry, full-throttle growls. They're all insane. They're all going to kill somebody someday.

The two young women whose landlord was convicted last week of secretly videotaping them in their Elkridge homes have filed suit against the 58-year-old man, claiming he invaded their privacy. The lawsuit filed yesterday in Howard County Circuit Court against Edward George Campion III asks for $1.5 million in compensatory and punitive damages. The two woman, 18-year-old Amanda Yingling and 22-year-old Susan Holt, say in court papers that they never gave Campion permission to place pinhole cameras in their rooms in his Elkridge home and that he gave them exclusive control of their rooms when he agreed to rent to each of them.

An Elkridge man accused this month of videotaping his female tenants was charged Saturday with beating a man with a baseball bat and threatening him with a handgun, police said. Edward George Campion, 58, was charged with first-degree assault in an incident that county police say occurred Friday in the garage of his home in the 6100 block of Fairbourne Court. Police identified the other man only as a 20-year-old male who lives on the same block. The neighbor, suspected by Campion of stealing property, was approached in the garage "without warning ... and struck ... from behind with a metal baseball bat," according to a summary of the incident released by police yesterday.

An Elkridge man accused of covertly videotaping his two young female tenants was convicted yesterday of violating a relatively new state law that makes it illegal to be a video peeping Tom and, in a surprise move, was sent to jail pending a July sentencing date. Despite the concerns of experts and the law's author that holes in the statute would make prosecution difficult, Howard County District Judge C. James Sfekas found Edward George Campion III, 58, guilty of two counts each of secretly videotaping the women in their private rooms and of doing so for lewd purposes.

An Elkridge man accused of videotaping his female tenants in their rooms with pinhole cameras was charged yesterday under a relatively new state law that makes most secret surveillance illegal. Howard County police arrested 58-year-old Edward George Campion on four misdemeanor counts yesterday, three weeks after one of the two tenants, a 22-year-old woman, found video monitoring equipment set up in a basement storage room. She saw images of the other woman's bathroom when she pushed play.

Coach Bridget Benshetler went "over the bridge" to reel in the top recruits for the Salisbury University women's basketball team, and now the Sea Gulls are going to the Sweet 16 for the first time in the NCAA Division III tournament. "Over the [Chesapeake Bay] bridge," is Benshetler's recruiting chant, and it produced junior marvel Amy Campion, who gives Salisbury (24-4) a legitimate shot at advancing to the Final Four. Campion is a 6-foot point guard who leads the team in scoring (18.0)

Lanham -- Sure, Tom Campion says, he'll have another beer, another Samuel Adams -- a fine brew, a fine man, that Sam. A revolutionary, Sam was; never liked paying taxes to bloody ol' Britain.Probably would have felt right at home here at Langway's sports bar, tipping a few with the guys, watching basketball reruns, discussing this curious new group called the National Organization of Regular Men, or NORM.Mr. Campion and a buddy, Bill Miller, formed the group last fall to celebrate regular guys.

"An Angel at My Table" is a very long, very lovingly detailed movie about a woman's life -- a movie whose length is its greatest weakness but whose details, which that length makes possible, are its greatest strength.The woman is Janet Frame, the New Zealand novelist and poet. Director Jane Campion has turned her three-volume autobiography into a 160-minute movie that is so slow it makes the somewhat similar "My Brilliant Career" seem as action-packed as "Jaws."This is not to call "An Angel at My Table," which opens at the Charles today, a bad film.
