...Last week Rudolph stole a truck and a six-month supply of food from a health food store owner in Andrews, N.C. CNN reports that Rudolph gave storekeeper George Nordmann a handwritten grocery list, requesting sufficient quantities of batteries, oatmeal, beans and other items to keep him supplied for a year. A few days later Nordmann's truck and up to 75 pounds of food were taken from his home. CNN's sources also allege that Rudolph left $500 as payment; the truck was found abandoned at a campground on Monday...
...Rudolph reportedly told the storekeeper, "I will not be found by federal agents or dogs," and as if to underline his confidence, according to the New York Times, he even left a handwritten note in the abandoned truck explaining that it belonged to the well-liked Nordmann. That suggests Rudolph may be trying to move toward an endgame, an impression reinforced by one other detail: The fugitive reportedly asked Nordmann for a detailed map of were the federal agents are staying.

"This is going to be very emotional," said Jones as she began her tour of the stables turned museum. Look, there is Diana's wedding gown.

While on vacation that spring in Maui, I took the papers into the Lahaina Restoration Foundation in hopes of learning more. "Too bad the name is Jardin and not Farden," said the museum director. He showed me a book, Sweet Voices of Lahaina: The Life Story of Maui's Fabulous Fardens, by Mary C. Richards. "The Fardens are well-known...
Simon & Schuster senior editor Bob Bender is a brave man. Unconcerned with the author's reputation, Bender's company is rejecting a book proposal from convicted Unabomber Theodore Kaczynski, according to the New York Daily News. The four-page handwritten proposal, in which Kaczynski claims his lawyers misrepresented him during his trial, arrived earlier this month. The last time Kaczynski sent out a book proposal -- for his turgid 35,000-word tract "Industrial Society and Its Future" -- he made it clear that there'd be more than checks in the mail if it wasn't published.
