...court to grant a new trial, even if the new documents prove central to the case. Terry Nichols, on the other hand, has maintained his innocence. At trial he was convicted by a confused jury that found him guilty of involuntary manslaughter, which means he did not intend to kill, and conspiracy, which means he did. The jury deadlocked at sentencing, so it was Judge Matsch who sentenced Nichols to life without parole. Nichols' lawyers say evidence pointing to the involvement of others could exonerate him. But last year a federal appeals panel denied a similar motion...
...rebels have said they intend to stay in their positions in the hills, which the government has said is unacceptable. Trajkovski remains cautious because an offensive is a high-risk strategy. The situation could quickly deteriorate either if his own forces suffer losses, or if there are civilian casualties. So he postponed taking action, hoping that he won't have to.

...babies have the potential to learn any language with equal ease, but by six months, they have begun to focus on the one tongue they hear spoken most frequently. Parents can take advantage of this brain plasticity by introducing a second or even third language, but only if they intend to speak them all with equal frequency until the child is fluent. Merely buying the occasional bilingual toy or videotape will teach kids little, and it certainly will not make it easier for children to learn for real when they get to school...
