...Madson not killed till four days later, near a lake 30 miles north of Minneapolis, Minn.? Why did Cunanan decide to torture Miglin to death the next day and not just take his Lexus? The ingredients that went into these cruelties may never be detected. In any case, there was private elation at the news of Cunanan's death in La Jolla among the rich, closeted gay men for whom respectability requires a veneer of heterosexuality. Here Cunanan had lived with businessman and arts patron Norman Blachford. Before Blachford, Cunanan had been known as the companion to two other local...
...longer the sacred union it was in the past. I agree that one important way to avoid a divorce is to prevent a bad marriage from taking place.

The prospect of listening to an extended version of that, live at Madison Square Garden, is deeply dispiriting...
...that I did my end of the job." President Eisenhower reportedly once joked that appointing Brennan in 1956 was one of just two mistakes he made during his term -- the other being Earl Warren. Brennan went on to serve through eight presidencies, remaining a force on the bench till he retired in 1990, when its composition had been stacked against him. A tip of the hat, then, to President Eisenhower for his error...
