Wayne Lehr returns in The Guardians II - Echoes of Thunder! The Trakarshan execution ceremony was set under the warmth of the summer Prethundran sun. Bill and Lehr stood alone, defiantly awaiting their inevitable fate. Larek, the Trakarshan Commander responsible for their capture, aims his weapon at Wayne Lehr's chest, ready to execute the Trakarshan's most hated enemy. Behind Larek, the group of Trakarshan brass, including the Lord Superior, remembers the atrocities committed by Wayne Lehr against the Trakarshans. Revenge will be sweet; no one escapes Trakarshan justice. The new Trakarshan Empire will be built on the ashes of its most hated enemy! Larek hesitated for just a small moment, and allowed the memories of his victory overcome him. He wanted to savor every moment, to impose on them his strength, and their weakness. As Larek looked into the gun site, he could see Wayne Lehr's heart just as clear as day. In this one moment, Larek could see everything that he loathed and hated. The time had finally come! The blaster fire from Larek's rifle screamed out, attracted to the chests of the two heroes valiantly facing them.
While iconic popular images celebrated family life during the 1950s and 1960s, American families were simultaneously regarded as potentially menacing sources of social disruption.

For much of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, public officials in cities like New York, Chicago, and Baltimore have criminalized uprisings as portending Black “thugs” throwing rocks at police and plundering private property to undermine complaints of police violence. Liberal mayors like Fiorello H. La Guardia have often been the deftest practitioners of this strategy. As the Depression and wartime conditions spurred youth crime, white New Yorkers' anxieties—about crime, the movement of Black people into white neighborhoods, and headlines featuring Black “hoodlums” emblazoned all over the white media—drove their support for the expansion of police patrols in the city, espe...
There is widespread concern in the telecommunications industry that public policy may be impeding the continued development of the Internet into a high-speed communications network. In the absence of ubiquitous, high-speed ¡°broadband¡± Internet connections for residential and small-business customers, the demand for IT equipment and new Internet service applications may stagnate. Broadband policy is controversial in large part because of the differences in the regulatory regimes faced by different types of carriers. Cable television companies face neither retail price regulation of their cable modem services nor any requirements to make their facilities available to competitors. Local t...
