...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. Cole says the district attorney: "is not satisfied with the Fed's focusing on just McVeigh and Terry Nichols. He thinks John Doe 2 is still out there and he wants to go after some of the smaller players, like Michael Fortier." Macy also argues that the state trial is needed because the untested terrorism law under which McVeigh was convicted might not withstand appeals. But many in Oklahoma would rather see quicker...
Jones is an intelligent, wily lawyer, and he has a strategy: to convince the jury that the the infamous John Doe No. 2 is still at large and may really have been the one responsible for the bombing. The prosecution presented no witnesses who testified to seeing the bomb being constructed, nor did it call anyone who placed McVeigh at the crime scene.

Even as it warns about the end of the world, you find a drawing of a space creature imagined through insipid pop dust-jacket conventions: aerodynamic cranium, big doe eyes, beatific smile. We have seen the Beast of the Apocalypse. It's Bambi in a tunic...
...struggle against his homosexuality was unraveling both his marriage and his academic post in a religious school. An attempt to reverse his musical fortunes on Broadway had come to naught. Then, in 1970, Applewhite got a break: lead baritone in the American opera The Ballad of Baby Doe. Detractors whispered that his voice was "not of national caliber," that he was "not musically a ball of fire." This was an opportunity for him to prove them wrong...
