...boys of the "Bomber Wing," as the section is informally known, get to see one another only twice a week, for an hour each session. That's when they are allowed into an exercise space to roam within the tight confines of individual wire enclosures 10 ft. from each other. And thus Ted Kaczynski (the Unabomber), Timothy McVeigh (of Oklahoma City infamy) and Ramzi Yousef (mastermind of the World Trade Center attack) get a break from solitary confinement and a chance to be neighborly at the federal maximum-security prison in Florence, Colo.--a.k.a. Supermax. The repartee isn't exactly...
...unimpeded by the 23-hr. solitary lockup, which, despite the term, is interrupted by the prisoners' yelling brief messages to one another. They are close enough to be heard. Kaczynski is two doors down from McVeigh, who is next to Yousef. Once, in mid-February, McVeigh the Oklahoma bomber spotted a news brief on the Unabomber and shouted for him to watch. Kaczynski, despite his techno-aversion, tuned in to the 3-min. segment. Kaczynski says he doesn't watch TV unless he feels there is a specific reason for it, according to Friedlander...
...Lauren, born Ralph Lifshitz in the Bronx, conceived a vision of Waspy splendor and preppie elegance and then had the all-American gumption to go out and live that dream and project it in sepia tones around the world. He once sold his wares store to store in a bomber jacket and jeans, and leveraged a line of wide neckties into a wider life-style empire with annual revenues of $1.47 billion and profits of $120 million. Until this year, Polo/RL sported growth rates a technology firm would envy...
...familiar: the wail of sirens, the staccato blasts of antiaircraft fire, the tracers lighting up the night sky over Baghdad. Then came the crash of missiles in the distance, sending up an orange glow along the horizon. On just the first night of Operation Desert Fox, U.S. ships and bombers pounded Iraq with 280 American cruise missiles--almost as many as hit the country during the entire Gulf War in 1991. Night after night, waves of warplanes, including B-52s, F-14s, F-18s and British Tornadoes, joined in the attack. Even the B-1 bomber, a cold war relic...
...Tribune, cultivated presidential enemies the way other men do orchids, winning Franklin Roosevelt's special hatred for publishing, on the eve of World War II, secret War Department plans that put the lie to F.D.R.'s professed neutrality. McCormick traveled the world aboard his own luxuriously outfitted B-17 bomber that included a swivel chair mounted in the plane's picture-window nose. From this vantage point, he offered readers his judgments of the nations of the earth, finding most of them filthy, lazy and wanting in Midwestern virtue. From Libya he once wrote, "No water in river, and country...
