Still, the proximity of flesh-and-blood company probably counts for something. Which is probably why the lawyer of another Supermax inmate--Luis Felipe, boss of the Latin Kings street gang--has successfully requested to have his client placed among the bombers.

Her pose is taken from that of the goddess of Arcadia in an antique mural from Herculaneum that Ingres saw in Naples; whence her bizarre hand, that pampered starfish of flesh.
