In a halting voice, a 24-year-old Elkridge man recalled on Wednesday the sight of an approaching car as he watched a drag race almost two years ago, and how he had not realized until too late that the Chevrolet Impala was headed straight for him and his two friends. "Get out of the way!" Paul A. Duffy remembered screaming to his friends, an admonition that failed to save Mary-Kathryn Abernathy, 21, and Jonathan R. Henderson, 20, from the impact of the speeding Impala. Both died in the June 21, 2009, accident on Interstate 70 in Woodlawn, and Duffy suffered broken ribs and other injuries.

One of Edmund Duffy's colleagues described this great cartoonist as "a terror to the unjust ... and utter ruin to frauds." He joined The Sun in 1924 and quickly established himself as a force as formidable as a galaxy of renowned Sun writers. Duffy's bold strokes bespoke power and conviction as he confronted racism at home (long before it was fashionable) and fascism abroad.Before he left the newspaper in 1948 to take up the less taxing work of drawing for the weekly Saturday Evening Post, he drew hundreds of cartoons that were equally deserving of the recognition he received with his three Pulitzer Prize winners.

This one is not about revenge. It's not about a high school lacrosse recruit ignored by his hometown college. For Loyola's Brian Duffy, it's about fun.That's what today's game at Curley Field between No. 4 Syracuse and No. 6 Loyola will be for Duffy, the Greyhounds' leading scorer who grew up in the shadow of the Carrier Dome in Syracuse. His home in suburban Camillus and his high school, lacrosse-famous West Genesee, are only 10 minutes from the stadium."I have a lot of friends on the Syracuse team, guys I went to school with or played with during the summer," Duffy said.

James Parthemos, a co-founder and former owner of Duffy's, a popular Irvington restaurant and bar, died of heart failure Sunday at Charlestown Retirement Community in Catonsville. He was 80.

He served as a sergeant in the Army during World War II and fought in the North Africa and Italian campaigns. After the war, he established a small restaurant on Forrest Street, and in 1954 started Duffy's with his father-in-law and wife, the former Susan Malas, whom he married in 1952.

Shorter sentence denied driver in crash that killed 4 A Delaware woman who in 2002 caused a car crash that killed four members of a northern Baltimore County family should remain in prison, the Delaware Board of Pardons has decided. Tishara A. Duffy had asked that the remainder of her nine-year prison term be commuted in the deaths of Wayne and Emily Abbott of Freeland and their sons, Douglas, 9, and Brian, 5. Duffy, who pleaded guilty in 2003 to first-degree assault and four counts of criminally negligent homicide, expressed remorse during a hearing Thursday for her role in the high-speed accident on Route 1 north of Dover, but the board voted not to recommend to Gov. Ruth Ann Minner that Duffy be set free.

Anthony Swiderski said he was sitting in his Canton rowhouse Aug. 10, 2007, watching television, when he heard a bang outside, followed by screeching tires. His car had been hit, a hole punctured in the side, and a good Samaritan had taken down the tag number of the vehicle that sped away. The first responding police officer ran the number and looked up at Swiderski with a half-smile. "I work with her. She's a cop," Swiderski, 56, recalls the officer saying. What happened during the next 17 months might be frustrating for anyone who's been on the receiving end of a hit-and-run.

There were no record shops in the neighborhood, and the nearest one was two bus rides away. The tiny, hopelessly conventional Welsh town where Aimee Anne Duffy grew up offered next to nothing in the way of soul education. But years later, the singer, who goes by just her last name, would find the earthy stylist within. A new world opened up when, at about age 19 or 20, she discovered the sounds of Aretha Franklin, Sam Cooke and other legends from soul's golden era. Such vintage sounds largely inspired Rockferry, her critically lauded, gold-selling debut that was released in March.

Zawadski and his wife Linda and Joanne Duffy and her husband Dan Saffer, dear brother of Joseph Zawacki, grandfather of Dan and his wife Rachael, Andy and his wife Sara, Meagan and her husband Zach and James, great-grandfather of Fiona.
