...Just what indications does Governor Reagan need to be "able to recommend" clemency? Is not the fact that Aaron Mitchell's was a human life enough?

Cruel it remains. Yes, "the law is the law," but God also made a law that applies in such a case. Or is God's law not as worthy of being upheld as that...

Conyers knew that Congress was in a nasty mood over Powell's behavior -- indignant over Powell's bravado and scared over increasingly widespread feeling that Congress was generally corrupt...
...clear from the beginning that the select committee would have to recommend some sort of punishment -- at least a censure. But if Conyers joined in that kind of recommendation, he faced the danger of being branded a "sellout." But he also knew that if Powell was to retain his seat, the committee report would've to be unanimous. Fearing that the committee would fragment -- and so aid those bitter-enders in the House who wanted to throw Powell out -- Conyers decided to work for unity within the committee. He would go along with proposals that censured Powell, as long...
