Bush, who staunchly defends all 131 executions performed during his tenure in Austin, is taking a renewed interest in the 43-year-old's case under the harsh glare of the national spotlight. McGinn has been on death row since 1995 for the murder and rape of his 12-year-old stepdaughter, Stephanie Flanary. Because the evidence supporting the murder charges was so overwhelming, no one has challenged that aspect of his conviction. But in Texas, a murder conviction alone is not a capital crime; the killing must be accompanied by an aggravating crime, like rape, in order...
Thank you for describing the harsh odyssey of the illegal Chinese immigrant Chen Canting [WORLD, May 1]. Every spoiled rich kid in the U.S. should be forced to read this. Suffering for today's youngsters is not being able to get a sports car. My family and I came to America more than 10 years ago from Korea. My mother works two jobs, as do my brother and I. My father looks after our small business, and all our money goes to pay for school. I wish Chen luck as he tries to stay in the U.S. What we thought...

...Clinton to stay in New York. An Arkansas Supreme Court-appointed panel has recommended that "attorney William Jefferson Clinton" be stripped of his state law license for "serious misconduct" - his oily-at-best testimony about Monica Lewinsky in the Paula Jones case. Most experts considered the move to disbar harsh, but considering half the panel recused themselves last week because of ties to Bill, a high-profile penalty is maybe not too surprising from the half that was left. Clinton was predictably aghast, and though such a busy president will let his lawyers handle the vigorous appeal to the circuit...
...harsh right angles and rigid grid layout so despised by hapless cubicle-ites are also likely to vanish. In their place, workers might find themselves in a tentlike structure with a retractable roof, pitched right in the middle of a vast, open commons area. Screens stretching from poles could shift from transparent to opaque, depending on your mood and need for privacy. Don't worry about the noise from your next-door neighbor; acoustics technology can block that out. And don't fret about fighting for a windowed office either; with walls of flat-screen monitors raining down images...
