...been arrested for not carrying identification, apparently a crime in Nevada. I explained the situation to the police, and the men were released. The following morning, I awoke to the news that a grandfather of one of the men had died, so the couples needed to return to Reno. Just another setback in accomplishing our goal; I could deal with it. Slightly more trying, however, was the second arrest of my two favorite signature-gatherers...
According to Churchill County police, the crew had decided to hitchhike back to Reno. A man picked them up and allegedly tried to fondle the two women.

And while the cops involved were never told which terrorist might carry out such an audacious attack, Reno and other top Administration aides had one man in mind: Osama bin Laden, whose Afghan camp had been blasted by U.S. cruise missiles two months earlier. His operatives might be coming to town soon. Intelligence sources tell TIME they have evidence that bin Laden may be planning his boldest move yet--a strike on Washington or possibly New York City...
