...side of the building dissolved. The carcass left standing looked monstrous, drooling cable and concrete onto the plaza below, huffing gas and smoke and dust into the sky above. Glass fell like sharp rain over whole sections of the city. Parking meters were ripped from the ground; roofs collapsed; metal doors twirled around themselves. There were toys scattered everywhere, haphazardly mingled with arms and legs, as if some immense, wicked child had ransacked her nursery and dismembered her dolls...
What had been the day-care center lay at the bottom of a crumbling layer cake stuffed with metal and concrete. Smith fell apart, crying and screaming the names of her sons, Graham-Wilburn recalls. The two women waited three hours in the vicinity of the blast, waiting, hoping, praying for good news of the children. Smith's brother, Daniel Coss, 25, an officer with the Oklahoma City police department, found his nephews.

Then we ran out of food at my house, but I told everyone I had a magic invisible lunch, and they all thought I was the coolest kid in the second grade...

The models came swaggering down the runways in provocative, fluid movements, some dancing exotically to the grinding heavy metal. The whole event was very "in your face" with the women wearing pouty, bitchy looks and the men looking arrogant as all hell. It was an excellent crowd of probably close to five-hundred with no shortage of transvestites and coked-out decadents. What they were doing in puritan Boston...
