...took the trouble to have their Timbs or Forces outfitted with Gucci, or even Louis Vuitton print. For two years in high school, I sold Gucci and LV outfitted shoes—sometimes to kids on my older brother’s basketball team, and sometimes to the suspected drug dealers living around the edges of Hyde Park. I had revenues in the five figures. I danced in a hip-hop group that performed at the Taste of Chicago, Chi-town’s infamous ghetto-fabulous carnival, and had stayed so true to my South Side roots that...
Arrested for sharing a marijuana cigarette at the annual Boston Freedom Rally in September, Cusick and Stroup turned to Harvard Law School professor Charles R. Nesson ’60 for legal counsel. Nesson and his clients acknowledged that they had used the illegal drug, and decided upon an unusual defense: they argued that the statute outlawing marijuana in Massachusetts has no “rational basis,” and that the jury has the power of jury nullification, or ruling a defendant innocent while recognizing that he or she had violated...

...Senate passed a narrower version of the bill last September, and the two houses are currently working on a compromise to send to President Bush. Both the drug industry and large insurers have been vocally opposed, saying the legislation could result in higher premiums for customers. "[The bill] would offer more generous mental health benefits to Americans," said Sonya D. Sotak, director of federal affairs for drugmaker Eli Lilly, "but it risks doing so on the backs of the sickest and poorest Americans." Rep. John Sullivan, a Republican from Oklahoma, admitted the changes could adversely affect the pharmaceutical (a clause...
