...Buchanan's flagrant positions and advocacy of solutions which fundamentally do little good may undermine the political fortunes of those he is trying to help...
...freeing people who were wrongly convicted, I wonder whether anyone worries about defendants who were wrongly convicted using DNA testing. From 1989 to 1993, here in Oklahoma, DNA evidence was the only murder-trial evidence implicating a Native American defendant from my family.

In the past two years, 15 hotels have opened or started construction, primarily to provide lodging for U.S.-bound job seekers...

The synergy of Louis and Mary's union was obvious from the outset. In contrast to Louis' charming, gregarious, outgoing nature, Mary was shy, reserved, socially uncomfortable and, in her own words, not very fond of other people. Mary preferred to carefully evaluate scientific evidence before reaching any conclusions; Louis, on the other hand, was often impulsive and cavalier in his proclamations. Rigorous in her approach, intensely focused...
