With that in mind, it appears that Minnesota Democrats are lining up former Vice President Walter Mondale to ride the wave of support for old-fashioned Minnesotan liberalism. Wellstone had just started pulling away in the polls, and Democrats can only hope that absence makes the votes grow fonder. When John F. Kennedy ’40 was shot in 1963, his public approval ratings skyrocketed from the nadir of his presidency. In an eerily similar chain of events, Mel Carnahan was killed in a plane crash within days of Missouri’s 2001 senatorial election, and his wife...

...Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms in Rockville, Md., this is pure gold: a fragment of the slug that could link the latest victim of the sniper rampage to the ones who came before. Like the other bullets, this one is carefully carried into the lab and hand-delivered to Walter Dandridge, 50, the principal examiner in the case. Using a bit of sticky wax, he attaches the crumpled slug to a slender rod suspended under his Leica comparison microscope, positioning it side-by-side with one of the bullets fired by the sniper. Then he rotates the slugs 360, turning them...
