...this brisk evening, the Salt Lake County Adult Detention Complex is moonlighting as a bed-and-breakfast, offering citizens a one-time-only opportunity to experience punishment without crime. Price: $55 for adults, $30 for children. So just who came up with this screwy idea? Sheriff Aaron Kennard, who says with a missionary's zeal that the public needs to "see what my people are going through." His people are the 665 officers and civilians who will staff the $135 million facility when it opens to real criminals this week. But some of the sheriff's visitors have another goal...

Gandhi was never a man to give up. On March 12, 1930, he launched his most brilliant stroke, national defiance of the law forbidding Indians to make their own salt.

Civil disobedience spread until Gandhi was arrested again. Soon more than 60,000 Indians filled the jails, and Britain was shamed by the gentle power of the old man and his unresisting supporters. Though Gandhi had been elected...
