...primarily stalked the back roads of a wedge of Connecticut called the Quiet Corner, hustling his victims into the woods before he raped and strangled them. But when he settled into death row two decades ago, the Cornell graduate became a prolific writer. He published articles embracing his fate, including pious meditations like "It's Time for Me to Die" and "My Journey Towards the Light," everywhere from the National Catholic Reporter to Might magazine. Ross's private letters reveal a far more agitated soul--alternately suicidal and manipulative--tired of the world yet hungry for its approval...
...Republican and usually a staunch supporter of George W. Bush. But I was aghast at the flagrant political maneuvering over the fate of Terri Schiavo [April 4]. Shame on Bush, Representative Tom DeLay and all those others who wasted their time and our money on this right-to-life charade. Those same politicians are too cowardly to attack at the federal level the real right-to-life issues--abortion and the death penalty. I pray for Schiavo's parents and husband. We all have a right to a dignified death without government meddling...

How can you live in a world where...
...Congress debates the fate of key provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act, the legislation continues to serve as a flashpoint for criticism of the Bush Administration. Yet, when opposition groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union make accusations that the act threatens or tramples our cherished First, Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights, they stoop to the level of misinformation and fear-mongering that they claim their opponents inhabit. In reality, the statute sensibly closes loopholes that tied the hands of counter-terrorism agencies in the pre-9/11 world. One need not support Bush nor his anti-terror policies...
