Death is final--no pain, no measured time in which to reflect, and worse, no payment of debt to society: no punishment. Where is the justice in that? Decades of confinement, imprisoned with only yourself and your conscience, a life without joy, love or laughter. That's true punishment. HILDA B. CLASSON New York City...
...never happened, according to tapes and transcripts dug up by Rauch. Saxton was less Savonarola than Mister Rogers; the hearing was dull, even for C-SPAN.

...Thompson somehow lived up to his brash self-advertisements, in part because he was able to reflect the dark and roiling energies of young America. As early as 1964, he saw Ronald Reagan as "the prototype of the new mythological American...who will probably someday be President."

The agency's latest findings reveal a vacancy rate of 25% in the West Bank and twice that in the Gaza Strip. Those conclusions reflect a familiar reality; for years the Israelis have been engaged in settlement building in the occupied territories not because they need new housing but because they want to hold onto the land. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denounced the survey as "false by an order of magnitude...
