Two stories

A good one and a bad one.

The bad one as reported by the BBC tells of a mentally ill man executed in Arkansas after being forcibly given enough drugs to combat his mental illness before being executed. I'm not particularly aware of the elements of this case but for the article, but I would think that there should be alternatives to execution for someone with obvious problems like this.

The good one, at least from my perspective, is that Bill Bradley has now endorsed Governor Howard Dean for the Democratic Presidential Nominee. With Al Gore, this means that all the candidates in the 2000 Democratic Primary are now endorsing Dean.
