...tough New York City cop, Francis X. Loughlin has a knack for getting bad guys to give it up in front of the one-way mirror. Julian Vega was 17 and "as fragile as an egg in a carton" when Loughlin nailed him for the claw-hammer murder of a young doctor. Twenty years later, Julian, now prison hardened, has been freed on a technicality and is bent on proving he didn't do it. Loughlin is equally convinced he got the right guy, but his eyesight is failing from degenerative tunnel vision, and the case has taken a bizarre...
...Saturday's slaughter - the worst single incident since March 1995, when five people were murdered in a Ninth Ward home - brought the year's homicide tally to 52.

But were a modern Richard speaking today, he would more likely talk about the death of kingship-the very idea of a useful, functioning monarchy. The last quarter of a century has seen the number of democracies and republics in the world explode from 40 to about 120. Monarchs, as a consequence, have...
