What, until recently, most 'zines had in common was that they were as non-commercial, communal and idealistic as the Internet itself. But all that changed with the advent last year of HotWired, the sassy online sister of Wired, and later of Pathfinder, Time Warner's mammoth collection of magazines-come-to-the-Net. Advertisers sensed new possibilities. And why not? The typical Internet user is a Madison Avenue parfait: mid-30s, hyper educated, mostly male, and with plenty of disposable income and free time...
Exactly how the government got Fortier to agree to testify is not clear. But TIME has obtained a vivid account of how investigators persuaded McVeigh's sister Jennifer to provide the prosecution with two typewritten statements, even though she is fiercely loyal to her elder brother (she is 21, Timothy 27).

"I always wonder how the accused and the family feel when they're in the spotlight," Cole says. "Getting to the McVeigh family for their first in-depth interview was thus all the more exciting...
Cole found the father and sister nervous as the session began: "They were careful about saying anything that could be used against Timothy." The McVeighs relaxed on other points. "The nicest surprise of the interview," Cole says, "was when the McVeighs pulled out a stack of snapshots from their family album that the fbi hadn't got hold of."
