If the minor breaks the contract-thus makin^it void?he: is not liable to the other party to the contract. If a minor, after coming of age, decides to fulfill his obligations, then the contract is valid.

When John Spenkelink, a transient hitchhicker, was chosen as the first sacrifice it was cause for serious thought. \ What an ironic situation. When death row consists of a majority black population, why was Spenkelink, a white man, executed first? Was it because his crime was such a hideous one or was this a master plan concocted by the powers of our "equalsociety V* I John Spenkelink was a white poor man who was -victimized, He was the perfect sacrifical lamb to be led to slaughter? The-execution of this man would appease the black population by showing us , that "our" judicial system does' not discriminate because of 0 color. Spenkelink's death, would not offend the upper echelon of white society who considered him a nonentity. John Spenkelink's murder was the beginning of the end. What a small price to pay in order to delude the vast numbers of blacks and poor g people who are dependent 1 upon the judicial system of p the U.S. for "justice." The * exeuction of John r Spenkelink will result in the I sanctioned murder of the mainly of blacks and poor 1 people.
