...times, Nichols seemed to be trying to protect his friend McVeigh. "I cannot see why he would do it," the summary quotes him as saying. Nichols also said that on April 18 he and McVeigh attended a weapons auction. That is the date that eyewitnesses at the Dreamland Motel in Junction City, Kansas, say McVeigh apparently left with the Ryder truck used in the bombing.

...Feiger spoke up yesterday after Karen Shoffstall, a 34-year-old New York multiple sclerosis patient, was found dead in a suburban Detroit motel with a note mentioning Kevorkain had helped her. Feiger said many other Kevorkian-assisted suicides had gone unreported because they involved people in Kevorkian's home state, Michigan, and therefore drew little media attention.
