...respect: after their claims were twice denied by the courts, the villagers issued a proclamation rejecting the land seizures as illegal and asserting their rights over ancestral plots for them and succeeding generations - rights they said they were prepared to "defend to the death." (Officials of Yicheng, the county seat with jurisdiction over Zhuhai, did not respond to a request by TIME for comment on the case...
...after Hillary Clinton's victories over Barack Obama in the Ohio and Texas primaries made the race even tighter, Florida Governor Charlie Crist, a Republican, and Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm, a Democrat, called upon the party to seat their delegates, saying to do otherwise would silence "the voices of 5,163,271 Americans" who voted in their primaries.

...write a television show. Measured against more thoughtful and meaningful occupations, this is not the best seat from which to argue public policy or social justice. Still, those viewers who followed The Wire - our HBO drama that tried to portray all sides of inner-city collapse, including the drug war, with as much detail and as little judgment as we could muster - tell us they've invested in the fates of our characters. They worry or grieve for Bubbles, Bodie or Wallace, certain that these characters are fictional yet knowing they are rooted in the reality of the other America...
