...further setback, the defense was denied immediate access to blood samples for DNA testing after arguing that the prosecution had acted in bad faith when a police crime lab withheld some for future testing. In a ruling released last Friday, Judge Lance Ito acknowledged that the prosecution's handling of the blood evidence was a "picture of confusion, miscommunication and noncommunication between the prosecuting attorneys and LAPD." But, he said, the performance "does not rise to the level of bad faith or misconduct...
...recent years, faith in activist government has declined precipitously. The cause is not just Vietnam and Watergate but rather the fateful turn liberal activism took with Lyndon Johnson and the Great Society. Not content with the great middle-class programs like Medicare, Johnson launched a War on Poverty that has since poured trillions down a vast federal sinkhole, leaving little trace -- indeed coinciding with a dramatic rise in crime, homelessness and deviancy of every sort...

But the Brooklyn-born Genovese, 64, the distinguished scholar-in-residence at Atlanta's University Center, has impeccable leftist credentials. Marxist theory, he readily admits, informed his landmark study of slavery in the American South, Roll, Jordan, Roll: The World the Slaves Made. Briefly a Communist Party member, he remained, by his own admission, "a supporter of the international movement and of the Soviet Union until there was nothing left to support." Particularly shocking to Genovese...
