...that time of year again. You sit hunched over a sheet of paper with a pencil in your sweaty palms. You agonize over each game. All of a sudden, you realize that you really care about Butler and Coppin State...
...turns out, that isn't all. Ickes was also carrying something of a grudge--but was it grudge enough to engage in political payback? Apparently. That's what some concluded last week after watching the man whom Clinton very publicly dumped after the election hand over volumes of paper to Republican investigators on Capitol Hill. And the chivalrous tone of his rhetoric--"It was an honor to work for him, and it is still an honor to work for him," he told the Washington Post--protests a bit too much, laying bare some wounded pride. But the former deputy chief...
...McVeigh's lead attorney, Stephen Jones, into damage control in Denver, Colorado, where jury selection is set to begin on March 31. For 30 minutes he complained about the Morning News story in the court of U.S. District Judge Richard Matsch, and then launched into a diatribe against the paper in a press conference.

The bomb, McVeigh allegedly said, was built with 5,400 lbs. of ammonium nitrate fertilizer--600 lbs. more than the government estimate--mixed with high-grade racing fuel.

The summer before the bombing, McVeigh was noted as saying he had an affair with the wife of Terry Nichols, the former Army buddy who would become his accused co-conspirator. The paper did not indicate whether Nichols found out. Still...
Even now, a week after news of the achievement first flew around the globe, traces of astonishment linger in the air like a contrail. The landmark paper published late last week in the journal Nature confirmed what the headlines had been screaming for days: researchers at the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh, Scotland, had indeed pulled off what many experts thought might be a scientific impossibility. From a cell in an adult ewe's mammary gland, embryologist Ian Wilmut and his colleagues managed to create a frisky lamb named Dolly (with apologies to Ms. Parton), scoring an advance in reproductive technology...
