Meanwhile, the Morning News declared it was standing by its story. The paper's account is almost novelistic in detail. The bomb, McVeigh allegedly said, was built with 5,400 lbs. of ammonium nitrate fertilizer--600 lbs. more than the government estimate--mixed with high-grade racing fuel.

The case spells the eventual doom of the principles proclaimed by America's founders...

Working in three-hour daily sessions, he blinked more than 200,000 times, according to Paris Match, to create "Le scaphande et l e papillion," an account of the flight of a butterfly escaped from captivity inside a building. Hailed as a masterpiece for its depiction of the communications barrier faced by paralysis victims, the book has sold widely since its release last Frida...
