St. Paul: Developing a Constitutional Test for Ethnic contradicted by U.S. Supreme Court Intimidation Laws":] Under an ethnic intimidation statute, To the Editor ay* I am writing in response to Robert O. Wilson's letter to the editor in the Nov. 2 issue of 77K Breeze. In it, he takes Caroline McNicholas to task for, among other things, not having a "well-reasoned position" concerning the differ- ence between "hate crimes" and what Mr. Wilson calls "normal crime." Now, it may be that Ms. McNicholas did- n't provide reasons for her position, but her position is indeed well-reasoned, particularly by the members of the United States Supreme Court who unanimously upheld ^ny-^Jeeyer* the constitutionality of Wisconsin's "penalty enhancement there is no longer a separate underlying crime.

These statutes are indisputably a valid way situated defendant Y. Thus, the argument goes, defendant X's to punish hate crimes." equal protection rights are violated. An underlying premise to It would appear that the law is not on Mr. Wilson's this argument is that personal biases, although perhaps immoral, side, and in his own arguments he should take more care should not be deemed by legislatures unlawful.

Therein lies the biggest problem with microbreweries and beer pubs, currently the hottest trend in the restaurant busi- ness, according to Plowman. Due to the use of only the best ingredients, micro- brews tend to be on the high end of the beer price scale. "We try to educate the customer," Plowman said.
