...Thiede's book The Jesus Papyrus seems to imply!) need be no more trustworthy than a later account. I am the author of The Apocryphal Jesus and was pleased to be correctly quoted in your article making the above point, but you inaccurately gave my last name as Lincoln. This error might tell us something about the historical value of contemporary reports. J. KEITH ELLIOTT Department of Theology and Religious Studies University of Leeds Leeds, England...
...until the search of Kaczynski's cabin, federal authorities were not totally sure that the Lincoln hermit was their man. No one had ever seen Kaczynski mail a bomb.

The few fingerprints recovered from the Unabomber's efforts, say investigators, are missing the central whorls; even if Kaczynski's matched, a jury might not be persuaded. Unknown to many, the bombs had yielded bits of hair and fiber, but the cops could not be sure they were the perpetrator's. Nor were they sure they...

Surely the more than 7,000 people who stood in line all night to walk past Brown's remains resting on the catafalque built for Abraham Lincoln couldn't be faking it as well. Many of them, with their flimsy umbrellas breaking in the wind and icy rain, didn't know Brown but knew someone who did or benefited from some project he got off the ground. Jasper Johnson, who passed by the casket early Wednesday morning...
