...after another, the tragic accounts tumbled forth. Cliff Cagle, whose face was mangled by the bomb, was almost hysterical on the stand. "I lost my job, my honor," he said, "and my grandsons have to see me like this!" A surgeon told of resorting to his pocketknife to amputate the leg of Daina Bradley.
