The Duke Case Standing Down

The pressure on Nifong to step down has been building. In December the state bar accused him of disparaging the defendants and misleading the public about evidence. Then the North Carolina Conference of District Attorneys–his own colleagues–urged Nifong to recuse himself “in the interest of justice.” The case itself is imploding. The accuser, who’d already changed her story numerous times, did it yet again, according to a motion filed by defense attorneys....

Speaking in regard to the styles of both fighters, this fight is going to be the greatest challenge for both these men, by far. With Golovkin being the aggressor, and Canelo relying on his sound understanding of the “sweet science” of boxing, their styles are a perfect match for each other. Golovkin possesses big punching power (34 of his 39 wins coming by way of knockout), and an array of menacing body punches....

The Dead Tell Their Tales

The world has changed so much that the dispute already seems a distant memory. In 1981, a newly elected Ronald Reagan put holding the line against communism in El Salvador at the top of his foreign-policy agenda. He committed $100 million in fresh military and economic aid, part of it to create the Atlacatl Battalion, a rapid-deployment force trained to win what the Green Berets called a “low-intensity conflict.” Congress, meanwhile, was pressing the administration to make El Salvador clean up its human-rights record so that Raymond Bonner of The New York Times and Alma Guillermoprieto of The Washington Post reported that the battalion had massacred nearly 800 people in El Mozote, it was a threat to be parried....
