Dearest was nearly frothing with indignation after reading the 60 Minutes investigation into the kangaroo court trial of Alabama Governor Bob Seigelman. And it's hard not to understand why.
I didn't appreciate "Stranger in a Strange Land" as much as I probably should (rather like the--hopefully fictional--person who complained of "Hamlet" being full of cliches). But Heinlein's character Mike's horror at the idea of imprisoning a person--and, more to the point, his further dismay that the "...worst ones are on the outside" come to mind right now.
