Gary Gilmore, the first man executed after the death penalty resumed in 1976, was a volunteer. So were infamous inmates like Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh and serial murderer Aileen Wuornos. Exactly three years ago a Connecticut serial killer named Michael Ross became the first man executed in New England in four decades after clamoring loudly for his own death. In each instance the volunteers hijacked the justice system, and Ross's case was no different: he engaged in a long and public opera of narcissism, self-pity and, in essence, self-promotion. His victims were all but forgotten...
...goodbye to the less exalted characters of the cinema's winter and early spring: the Asian-American dopers and slacker documentarians, the weepie men and baby mamas, the caveman hunters and Boleyn sisters, the chronically unmarried or uncomfortably pregnant or serial-killer imperiled women - you'll hardly be seeing any women at all in star roles. Even Judd Apatow and his goofball satyrs are taking a break. (The reigning producer of R-rated comedy has two movies opening toward the shank of the summer.) Fallible, ordinarily engaging, human-size, earthbound characters just don't measure up when the weather turns...

"I doubt they're walking away," says one diplomat involved in the talks. Yes, they say, North Korea's serial proliferation is a huge problem.

Instead the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based company uses information sent from Dash devices only to provide faster updates on local traffic conditions. (Should a unit get stolen, however, Dash lets owners disable it remotely by calling customer service and providing the serial number...
...State Department. But Administration officials insist they don't expect that to happen. They believe North Korea 3.0 - the "shame on you" policy - may pay off. "I doubt they're walking away," says one diplomat involved in the talks. Yes, they say, North Korea's obvious and serial proliferation is a huge problem. That's why getting Pyongyang to mothball its plutonium program has already been a significant accomplishment. Convincing Kim to surrender his stash of weapons, and whatever plutonium it has left over, would be another big step forward, and should remain the focus of the Administration's policy...
