...Saturday to the tune of 51.8 percent from the floor and 22 assists against just 10 turnovers—made just 18 of 52 attempts at Leede Arena. It turned the ball over 17 times while dishing out just five assists.“We didn’t defend as well as we did in the first game,” Crimson coach Tommy Amaker said. “We were horrendous shooting the basketball.

One government budget contains millions of dollars for prosecutions, while another department spends more millions to defend against them. Indeed, the very essence of ambiguity is our vain search for a bloodless, odorless, motionless, painless, foolproof mode of killing healthy people. No amount of patching changes the nature of a Rube Goldberg machine. In 1996 Congress passed an extensive overhaul of capital punishment, but as in all previous overhauls, the changes...
