Brescia was indicted along with Mark William Thomas, one of the more eloquent gurus of the Aryan Nations movement. Thomas is accused of recruiting young men to rob banks on behalf of the Aryan Republican Army. Using handguns, wearing bulletproof vests and, at one point, Santa suits, the gang hit banks in Ohio, Iowa, Missouri and Wisconsin in 1994 and 1995. Brescia joined the gang in August 1995, after another indictee, Scott Stedeford, drove to Elohim City to pick...
...been said that the Inaugural is the poetry; the State of the Union is the prose." Part of the State of the Union ritual requires the President to present something new, and that element remains a mystery. But McAllister suggests that Clinton may follow up on the anti-gang violence theme broached in a recent radio address with a new initiative. Otherwise, the President will probably repeat his plea that despite progress on many economic and social issues, more remains to be done. One thing viewers can count on, says McAllister, is that Clinton's speech will be fairly long...
There were other murders in Los Angeles that day. Corrie Williams, a senior at Centennial High School in Compton, was killed riding a bus in South Central in broad daylight, in a place people expect such things to happen.

He doubts the murder was gang related, despite Knight's longtime affiliation with the Bloods. Manning believes Shakur died because of "somebody being dissed," but that the somebody was not the victim of the beating administered by Knight, Shakur and friends hours before the shooting and captured in a hotel-security videotape. Confusing? One thing seems clear: Shakur's undying popularity. His posthumous album, The Don Killuminati...
...Martians are imagined as a civilization of pre-moral, technologically advanced three-year-olds, the kind of mean widdle kids who cheerfully tell you that they come in peace just before they zap you with their ray guns. The earthlings, from the family in the White House to the gang in Las Vegas, to the dysfunctional bunch living in a trailer near a small Kansas town, are presented as entirely worthy of zapping; they are all either too dumb or too self-absorbed to warrant salvation. Indeed, the big, slowly dawning joke in Tim Burton's Mars Attacks! is that...
