...most attention accorded an otherworldly landing since, perhaps, Apollo 11 touched down on the moon 28 years ago. At the Pasadena convention center, near NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where the Pathfinder mission was being run, a standing-room-only crowd of more than 2,000 people whooped and wept as the pictures from Pathfinder streamed onto a 25-ft. screen. On the Internet, NASA sites that promised to post the pictures as soon as they became available recorded a staggering 100 million hits on Friday alone. The landing capped off a busy week in which space exploration once again...
...people involved in the case, the one who has been most stoical is the defendant. He showed no emotion when the verdicts were read, nor did he react during the testimony of the victims last week. While others wept, he sat at the defense table in his impassive pose, with his chin resting on his hands. Lawyers and spectators were shocked that McVeigh remained so unmoved, and the jury may also have been affected. "McVeigh's demeanor matters," said Larry Pozner, a veteran defense attorney in Denver.

That was about all she could manage. Treanor dissolved, her body racked by sobs, and almost everyone in the courtroom dissolved with her.

When the day's testimony was over, even Matsch looked shaken. "You're human, and I'm human too," he told...
...deserve the death penalty. It's an almost impossible task after prosecutors spent two and a half days building a succinct and horrifying case that jurors should do exactly that. Witness after witness piled on details so gruesome that lawyers, journalists, U.S. marshals and members of the jury all wept: How, after the bomb went off, the floors of the Alfred P. Murrah building pancaked on top of each other. How rescuers had to build bridges to get across pools of body fluids. How Dania Bradley, trapped and unable to take anesthetic, screamed as a doctor sawed...
...shame. I never felt like I belonged anywhere. I never felt like I belonged to the gay community, I never felt like I belonged to the straight community. I've really felt like this in-between. I watched the whole Gay Pride march in Washington in 1993, and I wept when I saw that. I mean I cried so hard, thinking, "I wish I could be there," because I never felt like I belonged anywhere...
