...indictment does speak of "others unknown to the Grand Jury" who may have been in on the plot. But that language seems intended at least in part to counter defense arguments that the government chose McVeigh and Nichols as scapegoats without exhausting the possibility of finding a broader conspiracy--a contention that McVeigh's lawyer, Stephen Jones, is already pressing. The government is continuing to look for possible accomplices, but, said Attorney General Janet Reno, "most of these leads have been pursued and exhausted." Investigators generally think that if any additional plotters do turn up, there will be only...
Last October a Pentagon's Defense Science Board panel warned of an info-attack threat well beyond that posed by the hackers who have been irritating the Pentagon for years. "This threat arises from terrorist groups or nation-states, and is far more subtle and difficult to counter than the more unstructured but growing problem caused by hackers," the high-level board said.

Given the current state of United States foreign affairs, Thurmond's assertion has more than a grain of truth. In the last year alone, we have found ourselves mired in diplo-disasters including the Bosnian fiasco; the collapse of relations with China; the hampering of our security policy in the "new" Europe by an increasingly unpredictable and frequently hostile Russia; the shattering of would confidence in our capability...
Selective restriction of access to programming runs counter to one of the greatest goals of television, the dissemination of information. What will be next? A V Chip for advertising--filtering out infomercials, denture creams or the "Nacho Man?" A V Chip for different topics with settings for "no Amy Fisher," or "no O.J." or even "no Clinton...
