INTRODUCTION Karen Provencio is serving fifty years to life in prison for killing her husband in their Temecula home in December of 1998.' She insisted his death was an accident, caused by a gun going off in her hand when she removed it from their bed for safekeeping.2 She and her husband fought the night he died, and their children reported he was crying afterwards, before they went to bed. That night, she shot him in the head while he was sleeping.4 While she told friends shortly before the killing that he was mean to her, Provencio said she could not leave because she did not want to share custody of their children.' Several times over the two years preceding the murder, Provencio told her neighbor that she wanted him * Ryan Newby, Executive Articles Editor, Hastings Women's Law Journal, 2010- 2011, J.D.

What is the best way to help the world's deserving poor? Africans do not want or need Britain's development aid. 7:01AM BST 22 Aug 2010 13 Comments (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/letters/7958485/What-is-the-best-way-to-help-the-worlds- deserving-poor.html#disqus_thread) SIR – The parlous state of the public finances in Britain provides the perfect opportunity for British taxpayers to end their half-century-long experiment with "development aid", which has, since its inception, stunted growth and subsidised bad governance in Africa. As Africans, we urge the generous-spirited British to reconsider an aid programme they can ill afford, and which we do not want or need. A real offer from the British people to help our development would consist of the abolition of the Common Agricultural Policy, which keeps African agricultural exports out of the European marketplace. It is that egregious policy, combined with the weight of regulations, bad laws and stifling bureaucracy, subsidised by five decades of development aid, which prevents Africans from lifting themselves out of poverty. Andrew Mitchell, the Secretary of State for International Development, speaks about a "moral imperative" to combat poverty around the world. We could not agree more. The British have a unique opportunity to cut the deficit and help Africa: please, ask your new government to stop your aid. Andrew Mwenda Editor, Independent

  • The Glorification of Lady Diana Spencer
    CÉLINE GRÜNHAGEN ‘Our Queen of Hearts’—the Glorification of Lady Diana Spencer A critical appraisal of the glorification of celebrities and new pilgrimage eligiosity and spirituality respectively have always been and will be subject Rto change. The emergence of the manifold forms of new religious and spir- itual movements in the last century includes a variety of cult-like venerations of specific individuals, such as politicians (e.g. Mao, Lenin) and modern idols (e.g. Elvis Presley, Princess Diana, Michael Jackson), who are glorified like saints. Devotees gather annually for memorials of their departed idols or travel long distances to visit the tomb, former home, etc. of a specific person to pay tribute to him or her. Due to the motivations of these devotees, the trouble they take, the practices and the tangible emotionality that are con- nected with this phenomenon, it can be considered a form of pilgrimage. In the following I will present some thoughts about the glorification of celebri- ties which leads to these considerable forms of cult and pilgrimage, using as an example the case of Lady Diana Frances Spencer (d. 1997). The death of a princess Diana Frances Spencer was born on 1 July 1961. Belonging to the high nobil- ity of the United Kingdom, the Spencer family had no material shortcom- ings, but allegedly the divorce of the parents was fought on the backs of the children. Diana was regarded as a very poor student; after school she started working in a kindergarten. In 1981 she married Prince Charles and became Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, a title she lost due to the divorce.

Her wedding to the Prince of Wales, held at St Paul's Cathedral, was televised and watched by a global audience of over 750 million people. After this marriage she received the courtesy titles Princess of Wales, Duchess of Cornwall, Duchess of Rothesay, Countess of Chester and Baroness of Renfrew.
