...resident of Jackson Circle reported to CPD that a male resident of Walden Mews and another male jumped him and beat him up. The Walden Mews resident reported that he and the victim agreed to one-on-one fight, which the Jackson Circle resident had lost...
Ramirez haunts the railroads. His first known Texas victim, Dr. Claudia Benton, was found 100 yds. from railroad tracks in West University Place, an affluent community in Houston. She had been sexually assaulted. All the others lived near or were found along the web of tracks surrounding Houston, one of which leads to San Antonio. Ramirez, says Cox, has a "fascination" for train travel. Ramirez is 38 or 39, and was first arrested when he tried to cross the U.S.-Mexico border illegally. But he returned again and again.

Ramirez has taunted the authorities with conflicting clues. He all too obviously left the Honda Civic of his most recent Texas victim, Noemi Dominguez, near the international bridge on the border, indicating he'd fled into Mexico.

Ramirez is also wanted for questioning in the 1997 assault and murder of Christopher Maier, 21, a University of Kentucky student, who was slain...

O'Dell's supporters say testing is the only way to resolve whether O'Dell was guilty...
Diana was a sacrificial symbol in several ways. First she became the patron saint of victims, the sick, the discriminated against, the homeless. Then, partly through her real suffering at the hands of a rigidly formal family trained to play rigidly formal public roles, and partly through her shrewd manipulation of the press, Diana herself projected a compelling image of victimhood. Women in unhappy marriages identified with her; so did outsiders of one kind or another, ethnic, sexual or social. Like many religious idols, she was openly abused and ridiculed, in her case by the same press that stoked...
