Some of the evidence of negligence, though, comes from a former Aryan Nations security guard. In sworn testimony, Floyd Cochran admits that guards regularly operated off-premises because Butler "never told us not to." Moreover, Dees says, Butler's compound has long been a haven for ex-cons, a training ground for violence-prone men to commit crimes against "Aryan enemies...
Just to have brought the sides this close is an achievement. Twelve years ago, when Ross started working for Bush, Arafat was persona non grata to the U.S., a man whose sworn aim was to destroy Israel.

Last fall the organization lobbied the state attorney general to investigate Aetna's allegedly abusive practices...
...where does that leave Curry, who was sworn in as the first black president of the American Society of Magazine Editors only a few weeks before Emerge shut down? Trying to persuade investors to bankroll a new magazine that would follow in Emerge's footsteps. He maintains that Emerge could have doubled its circulation if it had been more aggressively promoted. "There's a black middle-class audience that's looking for news with an edge," insists Curry. "Our people still need a magazine like Emerge." Perhaps so, but will enough of them...
