"Specifically, the court will review whether two controversial third-strike sentences violate the constitutional ban on cruel and unusual punishment. The primary case involves Andrade, who twice fled a Kmart store six years ago with a handful of stolen videos, including "Snow White." He is serving 50 years to life for the thefts because he had several prior convictions for a rash of home burglaries and marijuana possession. The second case involves a felon named Gary Ewing, who is serving 25 years to life for stealing three $400 golf clubs. He, too, had been convicted repeatedly for burglary."

"When I first arrived in California, I was cruising the Strip in a '63 white Corvette, later on, I was driving a black Lincoln Continental with a "Groupies" bumper sticker in the back window, and later, I bought a '54 silver Jaguar sedan that had flames coming out of the headlights. My cars were well-known on the Strip."
"A lot of people knew me as Dixie's sister, and I was sometimes known as Cooker's girlfriend, but for awhile I was seeing John Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas. Later I moved in with Denny Doherty, the other papa. I was also going out with Taj Mahal for awhile, and Keith Carradine."

"A man without a wife to puncture his pomposity, without children to challenge his authority, in relations carefully structured to make him continuously eminent, easily becomes convinced of his superior wisdom. Since many priests have been only sketchily educated outside their formal subjects, they feel that the source of their wisdom must be their supernatural powers, not their intellectual development. It is generally easy for religion to move from the numinous to the antinomian, to the idea that believers are above the rules that bind others. This is where religion and sex slide easily into each other."
hand in glove
"Driven by police from their longtime haunts on street corners and massage parlors, prostitution rings are setting up shop in suburban strip malls, medical plazas and business parks--often using chiropractic offices as a cover."
"Perth prostitutes were reeling from exhaustion following an influx of United States sailors stressed from a stint in a war zone, a well-known madam said today."
"Sitting in a brothel bedroom in Velesta, a town synonymous with forced prostitution that police and experts consider one of the most dangerous places in Europe, Olga said that her “owner” would kill her for telling a reporter about her state of captivity. But the cruel conditions under which she is held, and her deteriorating mental and physical health, compelled her to speak out."
