...video "The Way Things Go," in the "Sausage Series" the artists remove human presence and distort scale, producing a world of crude cinematic maquettes overrun by cigarette-butt villagers and sausage-mobiles. In "The Carpet Shop" a group of cornichons inspect piles of thinly-sliced processed meat doubling as Persian carpets with fat-swirl designs and olive-chunk embroidery. Hardly just playing with their food, in these photographs Fischli and Weiss provide a wry social critique, probing the banality and vulgarity of a middle-class Swiss breakfast--an insult to American anti-cholesterol culture. Yet, at the same time their...

...would put Seng and Peov on any tribunal chosen to judge him, for the reason that they are the enduring casualties of his work. I picture them at the trial. They hear the evidence against him, inspect the photos of the hills of skulls and learn all that this monster did to burn over their country.

With DNA testing apparently inconclusive, investigators are pinning hopes on an array of forensic testing, including the garrote and duct tape used to strangle and gag the little girl, and handwriting and handprint analyses of the ransom note.

...redoubt of white supremacists, Howe became an informant for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. She made about 70 reports to her ATF contacts, which Howe's lawyer turned over to the defense.

In an internal ATF memo written in April 1995 and obtained by Time, Howe told her supervisors that Elohim City leaders talked to her about blowing up federal buildings in Tulsa and Oklahoma City.
