...only dangerous people who are also deemed mentally ill can be involuntarily committed. That's why Illinois has hired its own big-ticket experts to evaluate Yoder and, presumably, testify against him.

...north of Perth, the limestone formations, which range in height from a few millimeters to four meters, have been sculpted by the erosive forces of wind and water. A dawn or dusk visit is a must.
