...right eye and covered with deep lacerations, Norfleet found his way out of the rubble by following the trail of another victim?s blood, losing nearly half of his own by the time medical rescue workers got him into an ambulance. Throughout the day, Timothy McVeigh sat nearly expressionless, watching the witnesses, sometimes wincing slightly as they described the explosion. Testimony will resume on Monday with more graphic descriptions from victims and witnesses...

Beneath Earl's expressionless facade, he harbors no real racism and sincerely wants to get to know this brother he has never known. Ray's conversion is the true struggle: though outwardly courteous, he holds on to his resentment and his hatred to the very end. An undercurrent of tension therefore remains up to the day of Earl's departure, when Aunt T. shares a secret with them both that dissolves the final barrier between...
