FamilyMart, the 7-Eleven of Japan (which is confusing, since 7-Eleven Inc. is now owned by a Japanese company), has opened 12 stores in California under the excessively excited name Famima!! Its vision of America is pretty complimentary: we're an upscale!!, modern!!, clean!!, cheery!! bunch. Although it has plenty of Asian items, the chain pushes its prepackaged but fresh-pressed panini as well as microwavable pastas. And damn if it didn't improve on the Twinkie: its packaged dessert with a chocolate-covered banana topped with whipped cream and rolled in a vanilla cake is perfect convenience-store...

...tactic that exploits confusion over the meaning of reasonable doubt--and how much is needed to acquit. Even jurors in the trial of I. Lewis Libby, a well-educated bunch, stumbled over the term's definition. And it is supposed to make convictions difficult. The Constitution requires the government to be damned sure someone is guilty before taking away his life or liberty. "Reasonable doubt," though "quantitatively imprecise," denotes a high "degree of confidence" in a suspect's guilt, wrote U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Harlan in the 1970 case that gave a constitutional imprimatur to the standard...
