...American culture and, by use of the death penalty, turn people in our society into murderers. Let us take that power away from the McVeighs and expend our efforts in defining ourselves. I don't believe we are a nation of killers. Our compassion, our creativity, our potential to heal and be gracious and forgiving should prevail at times of pain and loss. We are better people than our eagerness to be executioners would indicate. ROBERT H. ILES San Jose, Calif...

...survivors know that "closure" is a cruel hoax, that the hole McVeigh created in their lives can't be filled by court proceedings, verdicts, even executions. Perhaps that is why a surprising number of them emerged this week to say they oppose death for McVeigh and believe they will heal faster if he is spared.

While that knowledge might provide scant comfort to some, for Susan Small, mother of two of the Little Rascals victims, seeing the abuses aired in a public forum has been...
...years since former Navy analyst Jonathan Jay Pollard was convicted of selling U.S. military-intelligence documents to Israel, both Jerusalem and Washington have worked hard to heal the wounds from that spy scandal. But apparently both countries are still stealing secrets from each other. Last week the Washington Post revealed that the National Security Agency's electronic snoopers, which had been listening in on the phone conversation of an Israeli intelligence officer, uncovered tantalizing evidence that Israel may have a mole even better placed than Pollard was: a senior U.S. official code-named "Mega" who may be passing...
