WONDER WOMAN VS THE NEW JIM CROW: HOW LINDA DUNIKOSKI'S GUTS, STRATEGY AND RESTRAINT WON A CONVICTION IN THE ARBERY CASE

From the New York Times "...she had been brought in to try the biggest case of her career: the murder of a Black man on a sunny afternoon by three white men just outside a small city pinned to the South Georgia coastline. Despite the evidence of racism she had at her disposal, Linda Dunikoski, the prosecutor, stunned some legal observers by largely avoiding race during the trial, choosing instead to hew closely to the details of how the three men had chased the Black man, Ahmaud Arbery, through their neighborhood. The risks went beyond her career and a single trial. Failure to convict in a case that many saw as an obvious act of racial violence would reverberate well outside Glynn County, Ga. For some, it would be a referendum on a country that appeared to have made tentative steps last summer toward confronting racism, only to devolve into..."

ONCE UPON A TIME...WONDER WOMAN AND ORION

  By Mel Dyer I think it's a shame that Geoff Johns didn't give an Orion/Diana partnership, a chance.   Conceptually, this worked for me, better than the stale Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor sandwich that we fans have been choking on, since comic's Golden Age... Sty-ana? In  Brian Azzarello's  hands (for fans, certainly not the most trusted hands, at the time he was writing  Wonder Woman ), Orion was Willie Garvin to Diana's Modesty Blaise, who (btw) is also a Greek princess...nothing overtly sexual, between them. We don't really know, if they're boinking. Like Diana and Orion, they're  companions  - does it matter, if they're messing around?   Let people use their bloody imaginations...
