Romney has reacted by calling on Judge Tutmman to step down, describing her decision in the Tavares case inexcusable. The seriousness with which he has responded suggests that his advisors, like some political observers, see the Tavares case as similar to the 1988 Willie Horton incident, which famously hurt former Masachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis in his run for the presidency. Horton, in prison for life for murder, had been granted a weekend furlough under a Massachusetts program overseen by Dukakis and used the time to flee to Maryland, where he robbed and raped a woman...

More than 10 years ago, a retired truck driver named Teri Horton bought a painting for $5 at a yard sale. The purchase became exceptional when a friend suggested that it might be a work by Jackson Pollock and the international art community took notice. Even more exceptional, however, was the method used to authenticate it.While art scholars argued over the aesthetic aspects of the painting, a forensic art expert named Peter Paul Biro found a more material way to answer the question of authorship. Instead of looking for a vague artistic “fingerprint” of Pollock?...
