1..For the Warren Court, that state legislatures had widely disparate populations in the various districts, this amounted to an obvious conclusion we know in the shorthand, "one person, one vote".

2..Nashville is the setting, as Meyers and VAUC proclaim.

3..Meyers down a mighty good road with Rock Island Line.

4..The most egregious sentencing disparity affected African-Americans who used, as Waq offers, crack cocaine.

5..Former Knicks 6th man Phil Jackson is home again. Waq, K9 & VAUC report.

6..Meyers uses logic( a rarity on his part, so we must highlight it)to place the Colts and Texans. Dove is also accurate.

7..K9, Waq & VAUC are all on the side of the road with extended thumbs. When cars would just fly by,
the trio exchanged their thumbs for the middle fingers.

8..Rbny & VAUC had such despair in 1966 that they switched to the Village Voice.

9..Besides Dove's providing Algeria, Morocco & Mauritania are involved too.

10..VAUC, rbny & K9 with their noses in chick lit.

11..Zorro is perhaps anticipating a 6th, a feeling he's had since reading Rachel Carson's THE SILENT SPRING.

12..Zorro again reporting the score, Rome 81, Carthage 62. Ed4 doesn't provide the outcome, but he DVRed it.

13..Some would quibble with the choice of "desert lynx" or caracal, as it rarely exceeds 40 lbs. Nonetheless, VAUC is,
along with Meyers & Dove, correct about lions, leopards and cheetahs, oh my.
