...second mood--that Russia has free rein to act as it pleases on the international scene--is also ominous. It has already tempted Moscow to intimidate newly independent Georgia; reverse the gains of the Orange Revolution in Ukraine; wage aggressive cyberwar against E.U. member Estonia after the Estonians dared to remove from the center of their capital a monument celebrating Soviet domination of their country; impose an oil embargo on Lithuania; monopolize international access to the energy resources of Central Asia. In all these cases, the U.S., consumed as it is by the war in Iraq, has been rather passive...
...think us.” Allard was right, of course. The Harvard softball team (31-15, 14-6 Ivy) began the year playing in tournaments across the country and found success right off the bat. Three weeks into its season, the Crimson won the Mercer Nisan Classic in Georgia. In the championship game, junior Danielle Kerper knocked in four RBI to help Harvard win a close 5-4 battle over Wright State. From there, the Crimson rattled off a 23-9 record, including a stretch in which it went 14-1. Coming into the final weekend of play against Dartmouth...

But Bohannon, who describes his passion for prison memorabilia as a "hobby," is concerned that a proposed federal law could shut him down. The bill, filed in late May by Republican Senator John Cornyn, takes aim at the trade by forbidding prisoners from using the U.S. Postal Service to deliver or receive items for profit. The bill has been referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee, where it is likely to face criticism from civil-liberties groups and support from victims' rights advocates...
...There are five major U.S. dealers of murderabilia, according to Kahan, operating out of Georgia, Arkansas, Montana, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. The dealers operate using the eBay model: sellers post their offerings and collectors bid. Some items come from the prisoners, their families, or even attorneys; other sellers simply write to notorious prisoners and ask for letters, personal items or artwork. Kahan alerts authorities to online sales, even buying up items to take them out of circulation, but he says that dealers are hard to pin down.
