Maximum
Texas prison security needs revision
In
“The Shawshank Redemption,” Andy Dufresne, played
by Tim Robbins, takes nearly 20 years to slowly plan his escape
route and dig into the sewage system under the prison. In
such a maximum-security prison, escape is perceived as a virtual
impossibility and one would think only through the most complex
movie plots can an event like this actually materialize.

Coverage
of Olympic games should be live
Commentary by Sean Callanan
There
is simply nothing like the Olympics. There is nothing like the thrill
of watching competitors rip through an Alpine Ski course. There
is nothing like watching a speed skater tear through a fresh sheet
of ice and break a world record. There is nothing like watching
the time tick by in a closely fought hockey game. There is nothing
like watching these events not knowing whose anthem will be played
at the medal plaza at the end of the day.
