...converted flower children and anyone hungry for true conviction. Some proved too zealous even for Buchanan. On Thursday he was forced to suspend his campaign co-chairman Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America, when it was revealed that Pratt had spoken to a 1992 gathering in Colorado that included a speaker from Aryan Nations. Buchanan argued that the Republican establishment was trying to destroy him, but the next day, he had to remove his Duval County, Florida, acting chairman, Susan Lamb, a part-time organizer for the National Association for the Advancement of White People...

BETWEEN 1961 AND 1966, COLORADO'S ROCKY MOUNTAIN Arsenal cranked out 300,000 M-55 rockets, which are now stockpiled at five of the nation's chemical-weapons storage sites. Too late, the Army discovered that the design of the weapon has a potentially fatal flaw: sarin, the deadly poison that was packed into the nose cone, tends to corrode the aluminum casing. And sarin leaking into the rear chamber accelerates the decay of the stabilizing agent that prevents the rocket fuel from "auto-igniting.'' Because there is no way to safely dismantle the rocket, the deadly nerve agent...
