...described the kind gesture of little Elijah Coverdale, Hartzler and his team have held the courtroom rapt, mixing sentiment with a crisp presentation of damning evidence. When he rests his case early this week, Hartzler will be able to look back on a prosecution that has performed almost without flaw. McVeigh's friend Michael Fortier, the government's key witness, testified convincingly that McVeigh planned the bombing; the witness who says he rented McVeigh the Ryder truck used in the bombing identified him without hesitation; the technical testimony has been pithy.

If a kid had the savvy to turn on the television at 35 minutes after the hour, the ratings would be gone and he or she would reap the benefits of rating-less television...
