A biographical survey notes a global shift against capital punishment. It cites last year’s U.S. executions as the lowest on record, with 21. California and Oregon debates highlight a broader trend toward repeal or moratoriums, while 12 states showed executions in 1963 and several have gone a decade without one. The piece quotes FBI Director J Edgar Hoover arguing for punishment when guilt is clear, yet acknowledges a rising movement against capital punishment.
