...fraud on the court," the lawyers requested a hearing to determine whether the feds willfully withheld the documents in order to conceal exculpatory evidence--and whether the bureau is hiding additional evidence even now. It's a long shot, but what does McVeigh have to lose? If his motion is denied, and he is executed, well, he was already prepared to die; he dropped earlier appeals to hasten the event. If he prevails, he could become a constant, life-sentenced reminder that the FBI managed to botch its biggest case ever. Nothing could please the self-styled enemy of government...

More and more American lakes are banning two-stroke engines and trying to quiet themselves down, although the Theory of Negative Compensations is otherwise hard at work on the nation's waterways. Unless we are lobstermen or whalers, we set out in boats in order to refresh ourselves...
