...penalty," declares Texas Judge Michael McSpadden. "Enough is enough on these appeals. It's time to enforce the laws." Most people in the U.S. (68% according to the Harris Survey) do indeed favor capital punishment; and the U.S. Supreme Court also seems impatient with what it regards as endless legalistic ploys to evade execution. Last week, by a 7-to-2 vote, the court emphatically tore down one more barrier to the execution of many of the 1,289 people currently on death rows in 34 states.

Unlike the national election in Britain, which lasts only three weeks and generates profound voter excitement, the current American system lulls potential voters to sleep. If the World Series were to drag on for six months, interest in the outcome would probably wane...
...rendering of it. Preparations at the manor house, the pursuit of pheasants by falcons, and boars by aristocrats, the serving of the rare Cockentrice (a capon and suckling pig cut in half, stuffed and sewn each to the other's half), and finally the ravenous consumption of the endless courses are researched and represented with the serene detail of an illuminated manuscript...
