LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
mployees of a Nashville security company spent more than a year terrorizing the Hispanic residents of apartment complexes the firm was hired to guard. And the owner of the company was usually right in the middle of the action. The Nashville Scene reports on the results of a six-month investigation into the case.
Mortician for a day. Sounds like a lot of fun, doesn't it? Wayne Alan Brenner of the Austin Chronicle spent one day among the remains and cremains of some late fellow humans nearly two decades ago, and he's finally gotten around to writing about it.
We've got a couple of takes on the drug issue from the Weekly Alibi. Steven Robert Allen laments the bad reporting on a drug story from a local TV station, while the pseudonymous Captain Opinion thinks that drug law enforcement threatens Americans' morale.
Plus, societal confusion, cool gadgets, and more.
