It was an intruder. It was a kidnapper. It was her mother. It was her brother
Article Abstract:
Many different theories have been put forward about the murder of former child pageant queen JonBenet Ramsey in Dec 1996. Her parents believe that she was murdered by an intruder, but others have suggested that her parents themselves, or her brother, could have been responsible for the crime. The case has attracted extensive media attention, and this has reflected badly on the police in Boulder, CO, and on district attorney Alex Hunter. It is common for murders to remain unsolved in the US, but there is strong public pressure for this murderer to be found.

Savage Klan killing stuns America
Article Abstract:
The murder of James Byrd Jr, a black, in the town of Jasper, TX, apparently by three white men, has been greeted with shock. It seems that the three accused tied Byrd to the back of a truck and drove along a stretch of road outside the town, causing his body to disintegrate into many pieces. The brutality of this murder could well fuel racial tensions in an area where race relations are still strained. Blacks in the town feel that the murder was a warning that more blacks are in danger.

Klan: the next generation
Article Abstract:
There are clear indications that the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is still active in the US. Indeed, the KKK may even have expanded its base since 1996, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. It is still using traditional recruitment methods, but is also recruiting in new ways, including the Internet. There are around 30 KKK chapters in the US, and the KKK is a significant force in society, even though some of the more modern hate groups regard it as old fashioned.
