Hartzler's skills were well displayed in his handling of Michael Fortier. All along Fortier was going to be a problematic witness. After McVeigh's arrest, he had lied repeatedly; he had bragged in telephone calls--taped by the FBI--about how he was going to make money off the case; and he was generally an unsavory character, unemployed and an admitted drug abuser. When he showed up in court, though, he looked very different from the way he did two years ago. His hair was cut; his face was clean-shaven; his ears were without earrings. He wore...
Still, the hole Jones and McVeigh must climb out of is very deep. Prosecutors will call a scientist from the lab who was praised in the report and so limit the damage on that score, while presenting evidence that the clothing McVeigh wore on the day of his arrest carried the residue of explosives.

...Cherokee. Nonetheless, reporters located his mother, MaryAnn, in a central Illinois town and learned a little about his true identity. The Cunanans were once wealthy, as Andrew used to brag, but MaryAnn claims that in 1988 his father Modesto, a stockbroker, fled the country to avoid arrest on charges of misappropriating funds.

If it had not been for a plea bargain with mass murderer Sammy ("the Bull") Gravano in exchange for his testimony, Gotti would probably still be the "Teflon Don." If Kaczynski's brother had not gone to the FBI with incriminating evidence, the Unabomber suspect might still be living in his Montana cabin. ROBERT J. QUIRK Sarasota...
...militia-style outfit believes the Lone Star State was illegally absorbed into the Union in 1845 and is a sovereign nation. It has its own courts, army and even license plates. On April 27, McLaren's followers took up arms (and a couple of hostages) in retaliation for the arrest of two members, one for weapons possession and the other on contempt charges. The hostages--neighbors who had quarreled with the litigious McLaren--were freed after Texas Rangers allowed a jailed "republican" to join the commandos, who then decamped to McLaren's "embassy." That exchangee, Robert Scheidt, apparently wilting under...
