	Lucy the Elephant, Margate, NJ
		James Vincent de Paul Lafferty, Jr., was born in Philadelphia, Pa., in 1856 of prosperous Irish immigrant parents from Dublin, Ireland.
		Lafferty also included a paragraph which stated the building "may be in the form of any other animal than an elephant, as that of a fish, fowl, etc." What his intentions were in adding that paragraph have never been clear.
		Lafferty died in 1898 and is buried in the family vault, in the cemetery of St. Augustine's Catholic Church, one of Philadelphia's oldest churches (1796), which still stands in the shadow of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge.

		In 1881, a builder from Philadelphia by the name of James V. Lafferty, Jr., built one of the most unique pieces of architecture to appear on the New Jersey coast.
		He decided to build a sixty-five foot wooden elephant, which would one day become nationally recognized as “Lucy.” Lafferty spent a total of $25,000 building the large wooden pachyderm in Margate City, New Jersey.
		The confusion probably results from postcards and other images labelled "Lafferty’s Elephant Hotel," which featured Lucy prominently in the foreground; the hotel, less noticeable in the photographs, was located immediately behind the elephant.(1) The structure on Lucy’s back is a "howdah," or Indian riding carriage.

	FLORIDA'S CAPITAL SENTENCING JURY OVERRIDE
		Justice John Paul Stevens later reasoned that "[p]unishment may be 'cruel and unusual' because of its barbarity or because it is 'excessive' or 'disproportionate' to the offense." Spaziano, 468 U.S. at 477 (Stevens, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part).
		The advisory sentence should inform the trial judge of the jury's determination as to whether sufficient aggravating circumstances exist, whether sufficient mitigating circumstances exist which outweigh the aggravating circumstances found to exist, and whether, based upon these circumstances, the defendant should be sentenced to death or life imprisonment.
		The Court also found unpersuasive the fact that thirty out of thirty-seven jurisdictions with a capital sentencing scheme vested capital sentencing power in the jury, while only three of the remaining seven permitted a judge to override a jury's recommendation of life.
