Jon Halsey: Questions method of naming KSP Commissioner Comments re article 80181 Next Steps In Selection Process for KSP Commissioner By Jon Halsey Personal commentary I'm aware that the position of State Police Commissioner is part of the political "spoils system" in many States. While I can come up with a long list of why this is a problem, I can't think of any benefits to be derived from having the State Police so closely tied to the Governor's office and to politics in general. Admittedly I am biased as a result of my experience in Southern Alabama in the early 1960's and later, while living in Tennessee, with the scandals involving the Blanton Administration and the State Police. Can anyone in CM land offer some positives provided by the current system? I really am curious. - Jon Halsey 2016-01-17 06:27:23 | Comments | Printable version

Tom Chaney: Night Rider: Idealism's Coil Of Writers And Their Books: Night Rider: Idealism's Coil. Tom says Percy Munn is one of a long line of Warren characters whose idealism is their undoing. The coils of that idealism become entangled in the press of the crowd. This column first appeared 28 August 2005. The next earlier Tom Chaney column: Cyrus Edwards on the Elizabeth Wilson Family By Tom Chaney Night Rider: Idealism's Coil The protagonist of Robert Penn Warren's Night Rider is Percy Munn, a lawyer and farmer near the fictional Bardsville in the black patch of southern Kentucky. Mr. Munn is drawn into the organizational meeting of the Association of Growers of Dark Fired Tobacco and accepts a leadership post in the group organized to fight low prices being paid farmers for their crop. When persuasion of farmers does not result in enough members to make the tobacco companies come to agreement, the Association and Mr. Munn turn to increasingly violent tactics. They form the night riders, a clandestine organization designed to force grower compliance through means other than gentle persuasion.
