This decision makes plain the entire sweep of the conservative majority.
It was a Monday in spring and so it was time once again for the Supreme Court to explain why some poor sods of whom you've never heard are screwed eight ways from Sunday. Monday's lucky winners were David Ramirez and Barry Lee Jones, temporarily housed on Death Row in Arizona. These two argued that their lawyers in their state trials were sufficiently incompetent as to violate their Sixth Amendment guarantees. Ramirez said his trial counsel failed to investigate his intellectual disability and Jones said his lawyer blew off evidence that Jones may not have committed his crime at all.

In May 1965, wearing a light pink Chanel jumpsuit, Nichelle Nichols walked into the Desilu offices and transformed Spock into a Black woman. The character of Uhura—a character Nichols would make world-famous in Star Trek—didn't exist yet. Series creator Gene Roddenberry had a vague idea for a new character, but because Uhura hadn't yet been written, Nichols remembered that "they handed me a script and apologized, saying the part I would be playing would be a communications officer." Director Joseph Sargent said the script pages were "probably close" to what her yet-to-be-created character might be like. But, somewhat hilariously, these pages were early dialogue for Mr. Spock. The idea that Spock was a male character wasn't made clear at first, so Nichols innocently wondered, "What's she like?" And at that moment, the souls of Spock and Uhura were joined forever. Whether you're looking for something technical or a little more low-key, we've got you covered. 24 years after his first letter to his son, also in Esquire, a dad writes another letter. |
