Law in Contemporary Society
I recently read the below articles that have reminded me of our class discussions, and I thought I would share them in case someone else finds them interesting as well:

(1) “DEA Agents Partied with Prostitutes Paid for by Colombian Cartels”: http://foreignpolicy.com/2015/03/26/dea-agents-partied-with-hookers-paid-for-by-colombian-cartels/?utm_content=buffer04181&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer

(2) “Prison planet”: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/29/magazine/prison-planet.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur&bicmp=AD&bicmlukp=WT.mc_id&bicmst=1409232722000&bicmet=1419773522000

(3) “The high cost of calling the imprisoned”: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/31/us/steep-costs-of-inmate-phone-calls-are-under-scrutiny.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur&bicmp=AD&bicmlukp=WT.mc_id&bicmst=1409232722000&bicmet=1419773522000

Also, I meant to share this cover of the Economist a few weeks ago, but I couldn’t find a better resolution image. It’s from back when Al Gore ran for president: 20000812issuecov.jpg When Eben was commenting on Al-Gore’s personality, this cover image vividly came to my mind. Here’s the article itself (I hadn’t actually read it at the time): http://www.economist.com/node/342928
