...that it no longer considered financially attractive. John Carley, the FTC'S general counsel, seemed to support that charge: "We were ready, willing and able to negotiate on any aspect of the proposed merger." But Gulf obviously was not.

One was groaning, with his hands on his stomach and blood pouring through them. Another's head was a mass of blood." Others spoke of bodies, and of a single leg, literally flying through the air. A kettledrum and French horn came to rest 30 yds. from the blast. Said a grim-faced survivor: "It was a massacre without warning. Children were splattered with bits of the bandsmen's bodies." Six musicians died. The other...
