Identifying the actual culprit may not be necessary since in California those who help someone commit a crime may be found as guilty as the actual perpetrator. Still, a jury could choose to convict only the gnasher on one of the meatier charges facing the pair, or a judge could decide to impose a more severe punishment. One of the four counts against each of the 21-year-old brothers, aggravated mayhem, carries a mandatory life sentence...
...onions, chili, cheese -- and a dollop of professional legal advice. The last comes courtesy of proprietor and practicing attorney Kim Pearman. In 1980 Pearman grew restless with the dog-eat-dog world of litigation and erected the world's first combination law office and wienerama, which offers legal help to go every Wednesday night. And while his culinary canines range in price from a $1.15 plain Plaintiff Dog to a fully dressed $1.45 Judge Dog, Pearman's jurisprudence plat du jour is free of charge...
...some flab and check its compass. Static enrollments five years ago persuaded the national office in Irving, Texas, to commission a marketing study, which concluded that the Boy Scouts were dangerously out of step with post-1960s America; the public still imagined uniformed do-gooders who tie knots and help old folks across the street.

As a result, camping garbage now has to be carted 60 miles to nearby...
Growing up in Spring Green, Wis., Haas used to help his great uncle, who was the stonemason at Frank Lloyd Wright's home. He studied painting at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, and earned a Master of Fine Arts degree at the University of Minnesota, but architectural references kept creeping into his work. After moving to New York City in 1968, he came to public attention with a proposal to paint a series of haunting silhouettes of demolished landmarks on building walls near the historic structures' former sites. In his first actual mural, on an all-but-blank side wall...
