...macabre twist of fate, many of those killed in the insurgency following the election were supporters of excluded candidates calling for free and fair elections. Gbagbo's supporters, mainly from southern ethnic groups, turned on their Muslim and northern rivals in politically and ethnically motivated violence. While Kofi Annan, Secretary General of the United Nations, the U.S. State Department and the Organization of African Unity called for new and free elections, the French hurriedly supported Gbagbo as president. This sealed Gbagbo's resolve to proclaim himself as president though he was far from having a national mandate...
...characters respond each in her own fashion. Elizabeth captures and tortures one of Junior's assailants in the hope of making him confess to the drug dealership. Mary Ann confronts her father and finally comes to terms with him. Gail fetches Junior from the hospital, who, in an ironic twist, proves to have been in a secret alliance with Tom to clean the neighborhood of delinquency...

And that's not even counting...

Modeled after the classic Italian form of tertza rhima (3-line triplets with elaborate end-rhymes), one of Rich's new works pays homage to Dante's Divine Comedy, which embodies this structure. Although it lacks end-rhymes, Rich's poem puts a twist on Dante's theme of the novice and the guide, ultimately celebrating what Rich terms "the death of history." She concludes that one's self is both novice and guide, as the poem's disembodied voice questions: "Was that youth? That clear sapphire on snow...
...whatever reason, that it is not interested in ruling on the case. If this happens, the case bounces back to the previous court (the 11th district circuit court in Atlanta). And since those judges have already heard the case (and ruled against Bush), unless there is a new twist in the case compelling the court to revisit the arguments, Bush loses automatically. The legal focus would then revert to the Leon County courthouse, where Gore's contest of the election results continues...
