Veterans say army rules do not bar the archaic punishment meted to Private Max Kellerman of the Second New York field artillery.

In Charlestown Massachusetts Pomeroy, once condemned to death and then life, nears permission for lifer privileges after 41 years in solitary. Once a boy killer, he has grown through self development, mastering seven languages and now studying Arabic while taking up law.
The piece argues limitations foster growth, citing Abbe Dubois in Monte Cristo and the sailor Dantes. It suggests society should adopt their view to advance progress, while noting that real deprivation of social contact remains the greatest loss for individuals like Pomeroy and others seeking escape.
