 Byron York on Charles Pickering on National Review Online
The dynamic was on full display late last Thursday afternoon when Democratic senator and presidential aspirant John Edwards, using the skills that made him a multimillionaire trial lawyer, subjected Pickering to a harsh cross-examination in which Edwards accused Pickering of being lenient on racist criminals and unethical as well.
Edwards based his attack on a case which came before Pickering in 1994 in which three men were accused of burning a cross in the front yard of a mixed-race couple in southern Mississippi.
As Edwards must have known, virtually no one in the audience knew the details of the cross burning case, and few, if any, would take the time to look into the matter.

With the thirties came not only the depression that would rock many Mississippi farms and displace countless workers but the advent of a national culture in which the Magnolia State would struggle to negotiate an identity.
