...Here I stand. The Gingrich freshmen vowed no compromise; liberals wrote them down as fascists. The Million Man March, otherwise admirable, provided the platform for minister Louis Farrakhan's elaborate numerological fantasies, the very arithmetic of the universe clicking in conspiracy. Whitewater and Vincent Foster's death continued to emit a low-intensity radioactive glow (a marvelously double-jointed paranoid bumper sticker said IF VINCE FOSTER HAD OWNED A GUN, HE WOULD BE ALIVE TODAY). And, of course, an elaborate police conspiracy framed O.J. Simpson for a double murder...

Most of the search must be conducted on the ground. Minivans are rented at the local airport, the backseats removed and replaced with electronic detectors that can sniff the neutrons and gamma radiation a nuclear device might emit.

One team member carries a special radiation detector designed to be hidden in briefcases, student backpacks, laptop computer bags--even beer coolers...
...diagnostic and assessment teams have all kinds of equipment, such as portable X-ray machines, with which to peek under the bomb's wrapping. An instrument that looks like a Dustbuster is swept over the outside of the bomb to vacuum up any faint but telling fumes it might emit...
