Quote	"'In effect, a hate-crime trial may become a wide-ranging inquiry into the defendant's character, values and beliefs.' Watch what you say, and try to remember what you have said in the past. Other prosecutorial questions also may include magazines or other publications you read, or even which recordings you listen to. "
