...guess what? The kid can write. Like Jackson Pollock with a paint tube, Stone squeezes the pus and purple out of his gaudy youth. The book is like a huge scenario from some gifted, twisted lad--Oliver Stone, age 20--that the older Stone chopped down and published. But the two are eerie twins.

...instead of attempting to decrease the chances of executing innocent persons, the criminal justice system has taken steps in recent years to make that horrible scenario even more likely. Criminal court judges, district attorneys and other local officials continue to win elections by boasting that they are" tough on crime." As a result, movements to shorten the time between sentencing and execution are spreading throughout states which allow for capital punishment. Of the 401 executions completed since the death penalty was reinstated, about 70 percent of them have occurred in the 1990s...
