...Those beliefs stem in part from a personal grievance against the former President: when he was in office, he refused to pardon Leonard Peltier, a Native American activist serving life in prison for the 1975 murder of two FBI agents on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. His case has been a cause celebre for some liberal activists who say he was unfairly convicted...
...just let them sit unread in my inbox for days at a time. I’ve tried to get friends to read them for me, but their patience has finally worn thin. How can I handle the inevitable failure that awaits me every time I log on to pine?! —delinquent@fasDelinquent, let me extol for you the virtues of a gmail account.

Give, if you will, to the needy, and let the pine trees live. Instead, rent the local V.F.W. hall or a hotel ballroom, deck it with boughs of holly, and invite the entire town for a vast blowout. O.K., it won't bring world peace. But if we have this primordial capacity for collective...
