This undated photo provided by the family shows Prince McLeod Rams. Prince died Oct. 21, 2012, during a visit with his father in Virginia, prompting police to also investigate the suicide of the man's mother and the shooting death of a onetime girlfriend in the past decade. The boy's mother, Hera McLeod, said the unusual confluence of deaths is not easily explained. "Either he's the most unlucky bastard on this planet, or he's a killer," she says.

In this Monday, Nov. 26, 2012 photo, travel guide author and marijuana legalization supporter Rick Steves holds a campaign sign in his office in Edmonds, Wash next to a door covered with marijuana leaf-shaped notes from his staff congratulating him on the passage of a referendum legalizing marijuana in the state. In the late-1980s heyday of the "Just Say No" campaign, a man calling himself âJerryâ appeared on a Seattle radio stationâs midday talk show, using a pseudonym because he was a businessman, afraid of what his customers would think if they heard him criticizing U.S. marijuana laws. A quarter century later, "Jerry" had no problem using his real name - Rick Steves - as one of the main forces behind Washingtonâs successful ballot measure to legalize, regulate and tax marijuana for adults over 21.
