...state that commutes death sentences less often than the Patriots reach the Superbowl, Karla Faye Tucker should die. She should be strapped to the lethal injection gurney just like her 37 compatriots were last year and she should be pumped full of enough toxins to asphyxiate and kill her. The crime of which Terry Nichols was convicted does not warrant the final punishment of death. If Ted Kaczynski is insane, life imprisonment without parole and medical help are appropriate, not execution...

...Dylan is back, having recovered from a potentially lethal illness and from a long string of relatively unimpressive albums. Anyone not convinced of this by Dylan's excellent new release, Time Out Of Mind, would certainly have been won over by his triumphant and exuberant performance at the Avalon. Performing a well-balanced mix of classic material and selections from the new album, Dylan and his four-member band delivered a mostly electric, uptempo set that gripped the audience from the start and kept them rocking all night long...
