...Minnesota doctor's wife arrested in 1999 after 23 years as a fugitive and sentenced last week to 20 years to life for her role in a failed plot to blow up two police cars. Prosecutors allege that Olson and four others also robbed $15,000 from a suburban Sacramento bank one quiet Monday morning in 1975 and shot Opsahl in the stomach as she was depositing her church's collection-plate money...
...Bears are an anonymous bunch (Do the names Colvin, Kreutz, Edinger and Dogins mean anything to you?) led by a coach, Dick Jauron, whose own name recognition ranks somewhere south of a suburban alderman. Scan the NFL's list of statistical league leaders, and you won't find many Bears.

It registers that they must know something--that this is really bad. That's when the second plane hits...
...Daschle's office in Washington. This time, alerted by the Florida case, investigators managed to get their hands on the source: three letters (and ultimately a fourth, addressed to Senator Patrick Leahy) with similar messages and handwriting, all of which had traveled through a major mail-sorting facility in suburban Hamilton Township, N.J. Despite what the experts had so confidently asserted, you could clearly mount an anthrax attack through the mail...
