...these friends down at Yale who this weekend are conducting the First Annual Hunter S. Thompson Recreational Pharmacology Festival. The $200 registration fee buys you a room in one of the pleasant residential Yale colleges, a consignment of psychoactive substances equivalent to the consciousness-altering contents of Thompson's kit bag as described in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" (enough to remove the convolutions from all the mammalian grey matter in Wyoming), two commemorative stamps, the services of a lawyer who knows federal and Connecticut narcotics regulations like the back of his hand, and much, much more. In short...
...brother Ronald, who owns a separate company, Building Concepts, Inc., that builds finished dome-iciles in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, anticipates sales of up to 100 domes in its area for a total of some $3 million this year.

But in the biggest upset of Tuesday's gubernatorial races, he lost by less than a 1% margin to Democrat Joseph P. Teasdale, 40, a former prosecutor from Jackson County (which covers Independence and Kansas City). Known as "Walkin' Joe" after his unsuccessful trek around the state seeking the Democratic gubernatorial nomination four years ago, Teasdale hammered away at the Republican in debates and TV ads, painting him as a "corporate man" with ties...
...N.A.A.C.P. Legal Defense Fund, which led the nationwide legal attack on the death penalty, also plans to help anyone on death row who turns to it. The organization has already prepared a new version of the "last aid" kit that it once sent to lawyers whose clients faced death in a matter of hours or days. The kit includes motions for a stay, habeas corpus forms and the like. The L.D.F. has now been forced back to the vast task of a case by case attack on individual death sentences. One tactic will be to claim that a particular sentence...
