Forfeit: your money and your life

Article Abstract:

Donald Scott, 61, heir to the family business which invented 'Scott's Emulsion' tonic was shot dead by police who claimed marijuana was growing on his land. In Oct 1992, 32 officials from eight agencies raided Scott's wooden cabin in Trail's End Ranch, Santa Monica. The district attorney of Ventura County Michael Bradbury found that police officer Gary Spencer had obtained a warrant based on lies. The department intended to forfeit the property as it is surrounded by valuable real estate. Scott's wife Frances Plante is campaigning to publicise his death and suing public officials.

Stink robs Siberian express of its magic

Article Abstract:

The journey from Moscow, Russia, across the Urals and Siberia, to Vladivostock and the Sea of Japan is the longest continuous train journey in the world, at 5,778 miles. Passengers pass through seven time zone, and the journey seems to take on a sense of unreality, with the train becoming an enclosed world of its own. The railway was inaugurated in 1891, and many of the buildings which it passes seem to have changed little since then.
