...print 3,000-word excerpts of Unabomber prose, treating the document as an item in the news. That approach seems unlikely to mollify the terrorist--but it did provide the public with its first real exposure to his philosophy, which seems to prove a point made by Alexander Pope more than two centuries ago: "A little learning is a dangerous thing...
...Federico Pena announced a national security alert at all U.S. airports. TIME's Doug Waller reports that the decision was prompted by several concerns: "The extradition of Mousa Abu Marzuk, the suspected Hamas terrorist, the imminent verdict in the World Trade Center trial in New York City, and the Pope's plans to visit Baltimore and New York in October." This is the first national alert since the Persian Gulf War, five years ago. New procedures will include beefing up of airport security personnel, searches of unattended cars at airports, closer surveillance of baggage areas and heightened warnings to passengers...
Both prosecution and defense had tried to play on the jury's emotions.

Sandra Conradi, the forensic pathologist who conducted the autopsies on Michael and Alex, described death by drowning in excruciating detail. And while jurors were spared the autopsy photos, they did view videotaped re-enactments...

Her most provocative expression of that faith took place during John Paul II's 1993 visit to the World Youth Day conference in Denver. One feature of this event was a mimed pageant on the stations of the Cross in which the role of Jesus was performed by a woman. Several bishops were present and took no umbrage, but Mother Angelica was aghast. Having a female represent Christ was "an abomination" and "blasphemy" perpetrated by unnamed Catholic liberals who want to "divide and separate...
