“Attorney General John Ashcroft has earned himself a remarkable distinction as the Torquemada of American law. Tomás de Torquemada...was largely responsible for...[the] torture and the burning of heretics — Muslims in particular. Now, of course, I am not accusing the Attorney General of pulling out anyone's fingernails or burning people at the stake (at least I don't know of any such cases). But one does get the sense these days that the old Spaniard's spirit is comfortably at home in Ashcroft's Department of Justice.” PeopleKnowsDoeHomeLawSpiritCoursesJusticeCasesParticularResponsibleBurningThese DaysTortureDepartmentDistinctionRemarkableStakesTomsPullingAttorneyHereticFingernailsAccusingSpaniardsAmerican Law Author:Walter Cronkite
“John Steinbeck's 'The Grapes of Wrath' also speaks urgently to today's concerns: the cratered trail of dreams for Mexican immigrants seeking a promised land in the Western [United States]; the perfidy of banks in foreclosing on poor people's homes; and the insurgent urge of the book's protagonist, Tom Joad, to speak truth to police power. 'Wherever there's a cop beatin' up a guy,' Tom promises, 'I'll be there.' In Salinas, Calif., Ferguson, Mo., or Staten Island, N.Y., Tom's truth goes marching on.” PeopleBookStatesHomeDreamTodayGuySpeakPoorUnitedUnited StatesLandPromiseConcernPoliceWesternSeekingIslandsUrgesImmigrantsTomsCopPoor PeopleTrailsWrathMexicanGrapesSpeak The TruthProtagonistsInsurgentPromised LandFergusonPolice PowerPerfidyMarching On Author:Richard Corliss
