...GEORGE JACKSON had not been charged with murder I would not have had the opportunity to read his letters. Not that his letters are of interest as a curio, a souvenir of the shooting; none of their importance derives from the shooting or the guard's death or his trial.

With the summer Vatican come the tourists, especially on audience days, and restaurants and souvenir stands do a brisk business...
