...strikes law would actually work. He noticed that a nonviolent crime--burglary, for instance--could count as a third strike. "That meant you could get life for breaking into someone's garage and stealing a stereo," he says. "I've had my stereo stolen, and I've had my daughter stolen. I believe I know the difference...
Klaas began speaking against three strikes. But his daughter had already become a symbol for the crackdown on crime, and California's legislature passed the three-strikes law. It now seems politically untouchable, despite horror stories like the one about a Los Angeles 27-year-old who got 25 years to life for stealing pizza.

He encouraged America's children to "dive in and use the computer, even if they feel like maybe the other kids are better."

But Perelman, reportedly worth $6 billion, let his bid for sympathy slip away when he took the stand and said it takes only "about $3" a day to feed the child when...
...sounds like a country song in overdrive. Spanky's wife left him. The girlfriend who followed left him. The woman he's courting is the sister of his ex-wife's new husband. Wilkinson acknowledges Duley's "difficulties" and congratulates him on the upside--that his young daughter continues to live with him. As the men talk, a changing landscape of fancy houses, junkyards, suburbs and woods unscrolls on either side of them. Two football fields away, over Duley's shoulder, the blue jackstaff light marks the front end of 45 million lbs. of cargo that the boat they...
