摘要

"I went out to Charing Cross to see Major-General Harrison hanged, drawn and quartered," Samuel Pepys casually noted in his diary on October 13th 1660, adding that "the general looked as cheerful as anv man could do in that condi- tion." The execution next week in Indiana of Timothy McVeigh by lethal in jection will be a less bloody, more private affair; it will be witnessed by "just" 30 people, with a further 250 relatives of his victims watching on closed-circuit television. But the event already has the grisly carnival atmosphere of a public execution. It harks back to a time when the taking of a criminal's life was a spectacle, an event children begged to go to, which diarists attended after a good lunch and where soldiers were needed to hold back the onlookers.
