It is alleged that during the course of a dispute over religion (Hogshire then being a Quasi-Muslim), Mr. Hogshire aimed an M1 rifle at Mr. Black while demanding that he leave. According to Black, Hogshire became incensed after Black "expound[ed] hermeneutics to Hogshire"[1]. Using Hogshire's wife as a human shield, Black maneuvered himself out of the house and escaped. Despite later accounts to the contrary, it was in fact Hogshire who first reported the incident to the police[2]. A month later, Black wrote a letter to the Seattle police claiming Hogshire was operating an illegal drug lab.[3] After news of this event became known, several bookstores, including Philadelphia's Wooden Shoe and Boston's Lucy Parsons Center stopped carrying Bob Black's books. Mike Hoy, owner and operater of Loompanics, sided with Hogshire and circulated a letter of support signed by himself and the ownership of Feral House. - George Michael -- Kenny Goss
George Michael (pic.) has joined Elton John as another queer celeb with a last name that sounds like a first name who'll get quasi-hitched in the UK once the sorta-marriages are legalized on Dec. 5. Michael announced that he plans to take the plunge with his parter, Kenny Goss, "probably early next year." - Summit -- New York
Originally, Summit was a cozy farming community populated by about 300 people until 1837. The community began to change from a rural farming and milling to quasi-commercial. After the Civil War, Summit became a summer resort area because of its crisp, clean mountain air and convenient proximity to New York City. Summit attracted extremely wealthy people who built extensive summer estates. - Robert Mitchum -- Yakuza
Robert Mitchum is Kilmer in this haunting East-meets-West head-on thriller powered by a team of heavy Hollywood hitters: writers Paul Schrader (Taxi Driver) and Robert Towne (Chinatown) and director Sydney Pollack (The Interpreter). Co-starring Japan’s Takakura Ken and veteran character actor Brian Keith, The Yakuza is a modern film noir in which honor and loyalty become issues of life and death. Violence erupts with the speed of a Tokyo-bound bullet train. And the last thing to die is tradition. - Beethoven -- Symphonies
It was during these rehearsals that Beethoven was able make significant revisions and corrections, including a decision concerning the repeat in the first movement. When the symphony was first completed, Beethoven thought the Allegro might prove too lengthy if the customary repeat was included. He had it played through, with and without the repeat and concluded it should stay. - Fairness Doctrine -- Opposing
Now and again, the Fairness Doctrine has been in the news. This is odd because it was supposed to have been dead and buried 20 years ago. To someone who keeps track of these things, it's like seeing renewed interest in Atari. - Sprites -- Light Sprites
Sprites are most likely a form of lightning discharge which develops at high altitudes (30-95 km) in a substantial quasi-electrostatic field originating from a large parent discharge in the cloud below. Predominantly red in color, they usually last no more than a few milliseconds and do not appear to contact the cloud directly. Because of their low surface brightness, they have only been imaged at night (primarily with highly sensitive monochromatic cameras). However, if ones eyes are sufficiently dark-adapted, one can actually detect them without any visual aid. - Christmas Songs -- Music

The civil law originated in ancient Rome. One of the principal characteristics of Roman civilization was the development of strong legal institutions. The principles and rules of Roman law were based partly on legislation and partly on the utterances of great legal scholars who were routinely asked for their opinions by judicial officers confronting difficult legal issues in the determination of lawsuits. In the 6th century a commission appointed by the emperor Justinian collected and consolidated all the sources of law, including the opinions rendered by the great legal scholars during previous centuries. The result was the Corpus Juris Civilis (Body of Civil Law)... called the Justinian Code, a comprehensive code embodying the accumulated wisdom and experience of many generations of Roman jurists.
