Some of the local alcohols" - he stops to ponder the various homebrews of yesteryear and concludes, "We don't make enough booze in this country." Indeed, the Arkansan...

Although the U.S. does not consider itself a threat to the North, Perry continued, Pyongyang believes the opposite. The North's need of a deterrent, Perry said, has "a very clear logic." The prescription seems plain: keep engaging the North while...
...dismiss the case entirely. Nesson would have none of it. “Your honor my client[s]…have spent their entire lives fighting these laws, and they have a right to have these charges heard by a jury of their peers, and they very much wish to exercise this right,” said Nesson, according to Stroup’s account. And with that, Stroup notes, “the pending dismissal was avoided, based on the objection of the defendants, not the prosecution. That must be somewhat unique in the annals of Massachusetts judicial...
