This story is now ... a strong emotional following to it because it both questions and supports the death penalty in different ways. Grisham shows this when he writes: " ‘ I've hurt a lot of people, Adam, and I haven't always stopped to think about it. But when you have a date with the grim reaper, you think about the damage you've done.' " The messages about the death penalty are brought about in different ... the story whose background is filled with hate because of his connection with the Klan.

- 2413: TV Violence
- ... of violent behavior in children. The truth about television violence and children has been shown. Some are trying to fight this problem. Others are ignoring it and hoping it will go away.

- 2414: The Preponderant Lysistrata
- ... festival of Athens celebrated in the month roughly equivalent to January” (“Background,” page 1).

This was requested by a few people on a small 312 board called The Magnetic Field Elite (312-966-0708, call, board has potential) like The Don. But I have ... something that I have never seen before.

It also portrays his wife Linda, who "plays along" nicely with his lies and tells him what he wants ... but there are frequent "flashbacks" in which Willy relives key events of the past, often confusing them with what is happening in the present.
