Synopsis
Executions: The Rise and Fall of Capital Punishment
From ancient practices such as death by a thousand cuts and hanging, drawing and quartering to the modern scientific era of lethal injection, we ask the question: do the most horrific crimes deserve the most horrific of punishments?
Year of the Scab
In September 1987, for the first time in U.S. history, replacement football players took the field amidst a union strike. Seen as a second chance for these "scab" players, the '87 season became a memorable one for the Washington Redskins.
