Volume 6, Number 30: July 25 - August 1, 1996
Mike Gibson explains why Knoxville might gain a justice center -- a downtown mall occupied by courts, clerks, the attorney general's office, and all manner of law enforecement functionaries. Might, that is, pending the outcome of the political battles behind the proposal.
Volume 6, Number 31: August 1 - August 8, 1996

And for the past three decades, Democratic challengers have stood down, writing a political battle off as a lost cause. Until now, that is. Bill Dockery reports on the campaign of local activist and veterinarian Stephen Smith, an underdog David who can only hope one of his stones hits its mark on the political Goliath that is Rep. Jimmy Duncan.
Volume 6, Number 32: August 8 - August 15, 1996
