...CLARKSBURG, West Virginia: FBI affidavits show the Mountaineer Militia planned to assassinate Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan and West Virginia Senator Jay Rockefeller. The militia, charged last October with conspiring to bomb the FBI's national fingerprint headquarters in West Virginia, said the hits would be carried out as part of a "holy war" against the federal government and therefore could not be considered as murder. The FBI documents also state that a militiaman associated with the West Virginia group suggested that members target the Rockefeller and Greenspan families as well. "You must chop off their heads," Larry Matz...

Hundreds of motorists in New Jersey...
Mike Kennedy was just a tyke in Clarksburg, W. Va., back then. The Navy didn't claim him until 1959, four years after Mighty Mo was mothballed in Bremerton, Wash. In fact, Kennedy never figured to serve a day on her. He had retired in 1979 and was working as a security guard in the federal court in San Diego when the phone rang on his birthday, Dec. 13, 1984. His wife Marilyn took the call and relayed the unexpected invitation from the Chief of Naval Operations. "You jumped on that like a buzzard on a dead cow," she told...
...lifelong Democrat, Vance is a product of the Eastern Establishment that regards foreign policy as its special purlieu. Son of an insurance executive (who was also a Democrat and who died when young Vance was five), he spent much of his boyhood in Clarksburg, W. Va., where he became friendly with John W. Davis, the unsuccessful Democratic nominee for the presidency in 1924. "I used to browse in Mr. Davis' law library," Vance once recalled. "I remembered the smell of bound leather and those wonderfully big shelves of law books." Vance was sent to the Kent School in Connecticut...
