Inside the judge's chambers, Kaczynski held firm that he didn't want to be called mentally ill at any point in the trial, and if that meant he needed new lawyers, so be it. The clash was ideological, not personal. The rapport between Kaczynski and defense attorneys Quin Denvir and Judy Clarke was clearly strong. Even at the height of their dispute, Kaczynski would confer with the two, often with a smile or a joking remark. He never recoiled when Clarke, a tall, thin woman who towers over him, patted his back or rested her arm on his chair...
...what struck Flight 826 was so-called clear-air turbulence, which occurs when there is scarcely a puff of cloud in a pilot's path. CAT can be caused by a lot of things, including a change in direction of the jet stream, a clash of opposing air masses or a swirl of wind rising off a mountain. Not only is the phenomenon invisible, both to the eye and to radar, but it can also be highly localized, lurking in a patch of sky as small as 1,000 ft. across.

Their oldest child, Jeremy, was an apathetic student who fell in with underachievers at the high school. But because Jeremy wasn't a troublemaker, says Rick, the guidance counselors never...
...college-football season brings classic rivalries and of course bonfires, pep rallies and death threats against the President's daughter. Berkeley, long thought of as a peacenik kind of place, got medieval last week as the Big Game, the yearly clash with Stanford, turned ugly. Daily Californian columnist Guy Branum printed the name of CHELSEA CLINTON'S dorm and told his fellow Berkeley students to "show your spirit on Chelsea's bloodied carcass." Go, team! The Secret Service, however, didn't find those words so inspiring and instead bum-rushed Branum's dorm while they were in town...
