...discovery will make prosecution a much surer bet. Initial tests have indicated it was typed on the typewriter next to it; and the FBI had previously determined by examining the manifesto sent to the papers, the Unabomber's missives to various newspapers and a gloating note to one victim that all three emerged from the same machine. In fact, lying next to the treatise in the cabin was a version of one of the bomber's letters to the New York Times. As America's trial watchers are aware, there is no such thing as a sure thing...
...Hundreds gathered here Friday for a memorial service one year to the day after the devastating blast killed 168 people in and around the building. Families wiped away tears, some smiling shyly at each other, as they observed 168 seconds of silence, a second for each of the 168 victims. Rescuers from around the nation, who came to help Oklahomans in the aftermath of the blast, joined the mourners today in an expression of grief and solidarity. President Clinton, in Russia on an official visit, observed a minute of silence in memory of the bombing victims. The names...
...fake gorilla while it growled dramatically. I got a big hand. For several months after I was badly hurt by a mail bomb, it was the same story, roughly speaking: gratifying but undeserved applause.

Two weeks before the bombing, McVeigh placed a call to Elohim City, and Jones believes that McVeigh was trying to reach Strassmeir. McVeigh isn't saying whom he was calling. Strassmeir says in any case no one told him about the call or summoned...
...uncomprehending grief at the loss of loved ones; the paranoia that it could happen again, maybe this April 19; the anxiety brought on by the wait for the trial of accused bombers Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. According to one survey, 38.5% of the state respondents personally knew a victim of the blast. "The psychological healing has a long way to go,'' says Governor Frank Keating, who lost three friends and can still choke up during interviews. "All of us are still sensitive and still recovering...
