...there had to be states that knew GM could not build there just for logistical reasons, he said. Nevertheless, government officials submitted formal proposals so they could tell their constituents they had at least tried. "[A politician] always wants to be perceived as someone who tried to bring home the bacon, even if the bacon doesn't arrive...

They would have to avoid simplistic sloganeering and embrace the creative use of media and technology. Finally, they would have to appeal to their tribalized constituent elements...
...took years to bring him to trial in the U.S. First Ng was tried in Canada for the shooting and spent four years in jail. He fought extradition to the U.S. all the way to the Canadian Supreme Court before finally being returned to California in 1991. Once there, he became a jailhouse lawyer, filing complaints about everything from prison food to his attorneys. After a change of venue because of pretrial publicity, Orange County superior court judge John J. Ryan had finally had enough. When Ng, representing himself, refused to answer questions, Ryan ordered court-appointed lawyers to take...
