...David was more personable, even talkative when he got going. And unlike Ted, he eventually reached an accommodation with the larger world. In 1990, just before their father committed suicide while suffering from terminal cancer, David came north, cut his hair and soon thereafter married his high school girlfriend, Linda Patrik. She teaches philosophy at Union College in Schenectady, New York, near where they live. For the past three years he has been a counselor for troubled teens at a youth center in Albany...
...Eight years younger than Ted, he had purchased the Montana land with his brother years before, and occasionally retreated to his own isolated cabin in East Texas that he bought more than 10 years ago. About five years ago, he moved to Schenectady to marry a high school sweetheart, Linda Patrik, an associate professor of philosophy at Union College. It is not clear how much contact he had in recent years with his hermit brother. If David was in touch with Ted, did he ever notice that bombs started going off when his brother went traveling...
...when Dean of the College Harry R. Lewis '68 recently vetoed the Undergraduate Council's recommendation to replace all official uses of the term "freshman" with "first-year," he effectively killed the possibility.

City councilman Frank Suponcic is home with his wife Linda when the phone rings. Linda answers. "Hi, this is Mike," says the man at the other end, politely enough. Linda chats with Mike, figuring he must be a constituent. (As Willowick's longest-serving ward councilman, Suponcic has lots of voters calling him at home.) After a while, Mike asks for Annette. Linda tells him he has the wrong number. Mike apologizes and hangs...
...they don't expect the Senate to go along with Gingrich and the House. The Speaker, Senate Democrats say, was simply responding to the anti-immigration sentiment stirred up by Pat Buchanan and playing to angry voters in delegate-rich states such as California. "It was mostly politics," agrees Linda Chavez, of the conservative, pro-immigration Center for Equal Opportunity. If the bill emerges with the school amendment intact, President Clinton could be forced to veto a bill he desperately wants to sign. Gingrich, not to mention Bob Dole, wouldn't mind that...
