True, Timothy McVeigh didn't hold a steady job, but he never seemed to want for money. In the days leading to the Oklahoma bombing, he paid cash for his motel room in Junction City, Kansas; he paid cash for the Ryder truck that allegedly carried some 5,000 lbs. of explosives to Oklahoma; and he forked over $250 (and his old Pontiac) for the Mercury he was driving when he was arrested. In Kingman, Arizona, the owner of the trailer park where the suspect lived in 1993 says he saw McVeigh flashing around "a big wad of money." Investigators...
...days later, McVeigh again called Nichols and asked to borrow his buddy's truck.

The trucks, equipped with "sidesaddle" gas tanks, are believed to pose a fire hazard in sideways crashes. The court ruled that the coupons, which could be used only in the purchase of new GM trucks, would be virtually worthless to poor truck owners unable to come up with the $5,000 to $7,000 needed for a new vehicle. The suit now returns to a lower court; GM will probably...
