public affairs

"For government to represent the interests of average people, public officials have to be liberated from their dependence on private interests to finance their campaigns. Doing that means going far beyond anything dreamt of in the watered-down McCain-Feingold bill sloshing its way through Congress, which closes one loophole (soft money) while widening the hard-money pipeline. That's why a little-noticed storm going on right now in the state of Massachusetts is so important."

jury of your peers

"The sentence had been imposed on Kubby in March after he was convicted of possession of minute quantities of psilocybin and mescaline -- charges which were a byproduct of a 1999 medical marijuana raid on his house. The medical marijuana charges were later dropped by the judge after a jury refused to convict Kubby or his wife, Michele."
