...awaits indictment--possibly by the end of this week--and a trial that could send him to his death, Timothy McVeigh leads a cramped and isolated life. The suspected bomber of the Oklahoma City federal building rises at 6:30 a.m. in his 8-ft. by 12-ft. cell in the Federal Correctional Institute in El Reno, Oklahoma, showers, dons an orange jump suit. Then, as he told TIME in answers to written questions, he has nothing to do but read (newspapers, a biography of Patrick Henry) and slam a racquetball against the wall...
...McVeigh cannot watch TV, though it watches him. He is under camera surveillance 20 hours a day. He cannot even see anyone from his cell except the armed guard who sits right outside--one of three who keep a constant vigil. Would-be visitors are discouraged; even McVeigh's lawyer, Stephen Jones, has to go through three layers of security to see his client. McVeigh leaves his cell rarely, chained at the ankles and wrists and whisked away in a windowless, bulletproof van to the Oklahoma City federal courthouse. From its windows, grand jurors, and perhaps eventually trial jurors...
Stephen Jones, lawyer for Oklahoma bombing suspect Timothy McVeigh, says the newly-announced discovery of an unidentified leg in the rubble of Alfred P.

Meanwhile, officials say they will hand down indictments of McVeigh...
...financial support for children a moral obligation of parenthood. The point, which Gingrich so conveniently glides over, is that in a truly robust society this won't be the only such obligation; the current crisis of the family goes beyond dollars and cents. When journalists note pointedly that Timothy McVeigh was a child of divorce, they aren't suggesting that the attendant financial insecurity is what caused psychological problems...
Well then, enter Terry Nichols and Timothy McVeigh. These two alleged terrorists have walked in just in time to busy the media while the lawyers search the hospitals for jurors who have awoken from their comas to hear O.J.'s retrial. But Nichols and McVeigh bring with them a strange part of the American landscape that has lingered and festered outside the spotlight. Their trial illuminates the dozen or so "citizen's militas," which may very well reveal something deeper about the American psyche than Al Cowling's 900-number or Fox's made-for-TV movie...
