This time around, however, I can identify a new business opportunity—one that I’d seriously consider pursuing were I not leaving this country: an illegal abortion clinic and a stem cell line. Sure, I know nothing about biology, but if Timothy McVeigh can destroy a federal building I’m sure I can work out a way of inducing an abortion and harvesting some stem cells. There’s plenty of demand here—no doubt I wouldn’t have to go far to sell them in the biology labs?...
...descended from an Abyssinian slave. "How could he be the Russian national poet?" Not that Alexei cares much for culture. After what he considers to be a lifetime of oppression, he says he's ready for war. A lathe operator by trade, his role models include Timothy McVeigh, who killed 168 people in the 1995 Oklahoma Federal Building bombing and was executed by lethal injection in 2001, and Robert Jay Mathews, leader of the Order, an American white supremacist group, who died in a shoot-out with police in December 1984.

McVeigh had lit two fuses to the 7,000-lb. fertilizer bomb in the truck and then parked beside the building's day-care center. The explosion vaporized the front of the building, leaving a yawning cross-section of oozing cable and smoke. The dead would number 168, including 19 children. (At least six people who survived or lost loved ones have since killed themselves.) When McVeigh was executed in 2001, he remained convinced...
