JACKSON, Miss. - Death row inmate Earl Wesley Berry wants the Mississippi Supreme Court to stop his execution, claiming he is mentally disabled and the state's lethal injection procedure is unconstitutional. If his attorneys are successful, this would be the second time a court has spared Berry's life in about six months. Berry was less than an hour from his execution in October when the U.S. Supreme Court issued a last-minute reprieve. He had already been baptized and eaten what would have been a last meal of barbecue pork and sausage, buttered toast, a salad heavy on the onions, mashed potatoes and gravy, pecan pie and juice.

NEW HAVEN -- Kristen Frost has been governed by the stopwatch for so long that the end in sight -- 14 months away -- comes as a comfort. Over the course of a thousand yesterdays, she has chased her swimming rainbows, fulfilled goals that most could only dream about and paid the price in physical and mental cruelty to her body, as all elite athletes must. The alarm clock that sounds religiously at 5:30 a.m. is more of a concession to her craft than ally; it signals the next predawn workout, of muscles being punished, lungs pushed to exhaustion and mood-defining practice times. So allow Frost, the 2008 New Haven Register Sports Person of the Year, to muse pleasantly ahead to March of 2010 ... past the next 400 or so punishing tomorrows as she strives to magnify an already indelible mark o...
Accounts of the life of Anna Mae Bullock of Nutbush, Tenn., known to the world as Tina Turner, read like survivor stories. There was the sharecropper childhood in the segregated South and the abandonment by her parents. The turbulent marriage to a domineering alcoholic whose abuse drove her to attempt suicide.

It's true. Karyn Grace's pleas to South Carolina's legislature to change the state's divorce laws to allow "mental cruelty" as grounds for divorce fell on deaf ears Thursday. But that's not the real story. The real story is that South Carolina's divorce laws are mired in the 19th century, and that they're being enforced with a Taliban mentality.
