In January 2000, Gov. George Ryan of Illinois halted all executions in the first moratorium in the country.
The Cheka had carried out not a few summary executions in the first half of 1918.
This may seem undramatic after the riots, raids, bombings and executions in the first volume, but then Satrapi's story is in many ways the chronicle of a normal childhood, experienced by a well-adjusted girl from a loving family, that happens to be buffeted by the upheavals of history.
The state has already scheduled nine executions in the first six months of 2017.
"It was really a clinic," Robinson said of his team's execution in the first half.
"It came down to execution in the fourth quarter, and you've got to give credit to Miami's defense".
Pro football is clearly a game in which stamina, will and execution in the fourth quarter distinguish winners from losers.
"The lack of execution in the fourth was big for us, turnovers hurt us -- that to me is more disappointing to me than anything is to turn the ball over in the fourth quarter," Houston said.
But the only reason he faces execution in the first place is because Texas failed to acknowledge his mental incompetence at the time of the crime and subsequent trial.
"Our execution in the first period allowed them to get that lead....In this league, you've got to make that next play and I wasn't able to make that next play, turned the puck over and it ends up in our net".
