SPOKANE, Wash.: The circumstantial evidence linking three prisoners in Spokane to the Olympic Park bombing may be growing. Telephone records reportedly show that someone in the Atlanta area phoned one of the suspects at his Idaho home at approximately the time the bomb exploded six months ago today. The Spokesman-Review of Spokane reports that the Justice Department and the FBI are investigating three men accused of bombing a bank, an abortion clinic and a newspaper office in the Pacific Northwest. The men, also charged with robbing two banks in the Spokane area, are currently in jail awaiting trial...
...clinics as abortion proponents and pro-lifers on Wednesday commemorate the 24th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion in 1973.

The Patriots never looked back, leading 21-0 with five minutes left in the first half and getting 166 rushing yards and three touchdowns from Curtis Martin. The Patriots will host red-hot Jacksonville next Sunday. Whatever the results...
...long ago there was a flurry of excitement in the FBI task force when someone spotted a shape on top of the bench during the period when the bomb is thought to have been planted. The video was sent, along with other promising graphic finds, to a state-of-the-art National Aeronautics and Space Administration imagery facility, where it was digitally enhanced. But the video did not give up its secrets. "It's a black blob," says Kennedy. "You can't tell if it's a person. You can't tell if the backpack is there or under...
