...spin on the following cliche, that we have met the aliens and they are us. In fact, to judge from the way they are most often depicted, aliens have sprung from the same corner of the national psyche that has a thing for Walter Keane's paintings of grotesquely doe-eyed children. Unless, of course, aliens actually look like that...
...case, and even among that small number, there was one whose testimony went terribly awry. Daina Bradley said while she looked out the window of the Murrah building on the morning of the blast, she saw a Ryder truck pull up and a man resembling the notorious John Doe No. 2 get out and run away. This is what she had said repeatedly for two years. Suddenly, though, Bradley, who lost a leg in the explosion, sank her face in her hands and said, "I need to talk to my lawyer." After a recess, she said she had seen...
...involved in the attack to justice. DA Robert Macy said he's going to move forward with a trial after Terry Nichols receives his day in court.

After the bombing, Elliott first said that McVeigh was alone when he rented the truck, but then, the next day, Elliott said McVeigh had actually come with someone else--the famous John Doe No. 2; Beemer has said she remembers two men. The prosecution now maintains that McVeigh was by himself. Jones will try to use this confusion over John Doe No. 2 to question the accuracy of Elliott and Beemer's memories. (The prosecution probably will not even call Tom Kessinger, another employee at Elliott's whose statements about John Doe No. 2 have been the most sensational...
