Advocates of the death penalty argue that an Aikens -or a Manson or a Speck or an Eichmann-must be cut out of society.

...million libel suit against both Sanders and Dutton, thus diverting attention from their actual day-to-day activities. The link is hardly proven, but the overall taste left in the mouth after a perusal of the Process' current Death Issue magazine, which reprints part of an "article" written by Manson, is not in the least pleasant.
