In a corner of the huge maintenance complex in Tulsa, Ralph Dwain Garrison and Jack (Robin) Hood schemed to save drill bits costing as much as $200 each that were routinely being tossed after a few uses. Garrison took the motor from his son's science project and slapped on a vacuum-cleaner belt to create "Thumpin' Ralph"--a machine to sharpen old drill bits for reuse. Savings? Over $300,000.

In response to the government's efforts, the tribal elders hemmed and hawed, and then refused to hand over the wanted men - who, in the meantime, had fled. At that point, an informant walked into the military garrison in Wana and said we think we know where these men are hiding, and they're not heavily armed.
