...crack the Olympic-bombing case wide open. But it was precisely the kind of lead the FBI was hoping for when it took an aggressive new tack in the investigation last week, announcing a $500,000 reward and presenting an unusual televised show reviewing the main evidence. At an Atlanta press conference, deputy director Weldon Kennedy for the first time played a tape recording of the 7-sec. 911 call that warned of the bombing and asked anyone recognizing the voice to come forward.
