Author: Howard Ahmanson

I always thought of Dick Dale as a local phenomenon, but his recent death got national coverage.  The most thorough and best article was one in The New Yorker, a magazine which might well have turned up its nose during […]

Another Way of Bypassing the Restrictions on Criminal Law

  • Culture
September 7, 2018August 16, 2019
Author: Howard Ahmanson

I have written about the increasing use of civil law to bypass the limitations and ‘rights’ attached to criminal law.  But yet another tactic has recently been discovered, and maybe not all that recently. The law and concept of rape has […]
