  1. Quentin Kopp, no longer on board this bullet train

    There's a short piece of Bay Area freeway, Interstate 380, named for Quentin Kopp, which is ironic considering that he's beaten the drum for public transit — specifically bullet trains — for years. But then again, he's always been a contrarian, as a Superior Court judge, a San Francisco supervisor and a state senator. He also headed the California High-Speed Rail Authority. The man nicknamed the "Great Dissenter" is dissenting now over the course of his beloved bullet train, created on paper in 2008 with a bond measure, Proposition 1A. Its prospects have been slowed considerably by lawsuits, the latest from the state itself, a preemptive bring-it-on legal action called High-Speed Rail Authority vs. All Persons Interested. Kopp is among the very interested, and the not very happy.

    Just after Bill Beavers left the federal courtroom guilty on all counts — but before he'd go downstairs to play the defiant old-school Chicago pol for the TV cameras — he gave me a quiet shrug.

  3. When Washington was really grim

    WASHINGTON -- "When I first met Richard Nixon," Robert Bork says in the book he completed a few weeks before his death in December, "I could see in his expression the conviction that someone had blundered badly." With the dry wit that, together with his...

  7. In Leopold case, judge draws bright line in the fog

    Those who criticize the John Leopold case &mdash; that it was &quot;too much squeeze for too little juice," a waste of taxpayer money &mdash; should read the 40-page memorandum by Dennis M. Sweeney, the judge who presided over the Anne Arundel County executive's trial.

  8. No pity, no ridicule for Ryan out loud

    We'll probably want to reach for ridicule when the George Ryan media circus is finally unleashed upon us.
    We'll probably want to reach for ridicule when the George Ryan media circus is finally unleashed upon us. We'll see the old corrupt ex-governor leaving prison for a federal halfway house, perhaps as early as Wednesday. He might be on the arm of his...

  9. Stem cell agency not doing enough to avoid conflict of interest

    Compromise, defined as the art of getting part of a loaf when the whole loaf is out of reach, comes in many forms. But surely the strangest of all is what comes of trying to compromise with yourself.

    Invest in Chicago, you'll make out like a bandit.

  11. Getting inside the mind of John Leopold

    Friday afternoon in a spacious Annapolis courtroom with a flat-screen monitor, Dr. Roy E. Bands Jr., board-certified orthopedic surgeon, presented a side view of John Leopold's lumbar region &mdash; how his lower spine, abdomen and bladder looked in January 2010. Too bad the doctor didn't have a scan of the Anne Arundel County executive's prefrontal cortex.

  12. Glenn Reibman should stay at bottom of Crystal Lake
