Into the “Land of Snow and Ice: Racial Fantasies in the Fairy-Tale Landscapes of the North
This article examines fantasies of race and place in Scandinavian children’s literature of the mid-1800s to early 1900s.

Lost Innocent and Sacrificial Delegate: The Jonbenet Ramsey Murder
On 26 December 1996, 7 hours after Patsy Ramsey informed the police that her daughter had been kidnapped for ransom, 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey's beaten body was found by her father in an unused storage room in the basement of their upper middle-class home.
