...Dead Woman Walking Karla Faye Tucker, the born-again Texan killer, has had her appeal for clemency denied ? and little now stands between her and her execution tomorrow...
AUSTIN: Only one man can delay Karla Faye Tucker's deadly date with the needle: Texas Governor George W. Bush. But he's running out of time.

The crime of which Terry Nichols was convicted does not warrant the final punishment of death. If Ted Kaczynski is insane, life imprisonment without parole and medical help are appropriate, not execution...
