I've always been baffled by the jury's refusal in that case to convict on first-degree murder charges.  How can they rule that the kidnappings and subsequent murders were not planned, when it happened in all of the six cases that they heard?

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I was a huge fan, so much so that I illegally bought a copy of 'Banned in the USA' when I was underage. :showoff:

Jerry West dead at 86.  For those who don't follow the NBA, he was an outstanding player (voted all-NBA every year of his career as a player) and an excellent coach (got to the [layoffs every year he coached) but his most outstanding achievements were as a GM (eight NBA championships with 3 teams).

The NBA logo is of him.


The NBA is losing a lot of its institutional  memory this year:  Russel, Walton, and now West.

I read that he was seriously unwell a little while ago, so it wouldn't be surprising.

The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.
