Strassmeir left the U.S. in December, after being approached by one of Jones' investigators, and surfaced later in Berlin. Reached there by phone last week, he denied any role in the bombing. He acknowledged that three years ago he bought some secondhand clothes from McVeigh at a Tulsa gun show and "probably" gave him an Elohim City business card. Otherwise, Strassmeir insists, they have not been in touch. "The only connection between me and McVeigh," he says, "is that I bought an old pair of pants from...
...prosecutors' biggest challenges is to sit in silence while Jones sounds off--federal rules oblige them to avoid pretrial publicity--but this argument really brings out their exasperation. They want to know why, if McVeigh is the fall guy in a conspiracy, he hasn't told his own lawyer who the masterminds are.

And there are the psychic scars: the uncomprehending grief at the loss of loved ones; the paranoia that it could happen again, maybe this April 19; the anxiety brought on by the wait for the trial of accused bombers Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols.

"McVeigh wanted to talk to TIME because it reaches a world audience." Cole found him upbeat and cordial but frustrated by the way he's treated in prison. "The petty harassment seems to be affecting his whole outlook," says Cole, aware that...
...McVeigh: If it means that I was angered at Waco and I enjoy guns as a hobby, I do go to gun shows, and I follow the beliefs of the Founding Fathers. If it means that I was involved in the bombing, then that means about a billion other Americans were involved as well. I don't think it is right to take someone's beliefs and convict them because of those beliefs...
