McVeigh: I've never had my hand on one. I used to watch other people do it. I won't go into that. There were plastic soda bottles. They would put vinegar and baking soda in and screw the cap on, and it would burst...
DIED. FRANCOIS MITTERRAND, 79, former President of France; of cancer; in Paris. He was a man of frustrating arrogance, a man of contradictory impulses--but above all, as even his opponents acknowledged, Mitterrand was a man of France.

In dizzying succession, the yuppies hit us with the jicama, the kiwi, the leek and the miniature eggplant. By the end of the 1980s, thanks to their heroic efforts, every Midwestern town sported a fern- filled "Maude's" or "Davio's" offering white chocolate mousse and blackened fish. For those who could afford to eat fashionably, dinner replaced...
