...Waco conflagration. (Earlier in the week, the Denver trial of Timothy McVeigh, who was allegedly motivated by Waco, was placed under tighter security after three men with ties to the Branch Davidians were arrested in a raid in Colorado in which FBI agents confiscated explosives.) Thus, arrayed in Fort Davis, Texas, against McLaren, his wife and five lieutenants were officers of the Texas department of public safety, Texas Rangers, border-patrol agents, Texas National Guard troops, Texas parks and wildlife agents, FBI agents, SWAT teams, armored personnel carriers and bloodhounds. "This is not the Alamo, and I'm not Davy...
...FORT DAVIS, Texas: An aerial search turned up no sign of the last remaining Republic of Texas fugitive, tentatively identified as 21-year-old Richard Keyes. Department of Public Safety officials have scaled back their ground search for Keyes out of fear that the Davis Mountains' rough terrain would make it impossible to rescue any injured personnel. Authorities have still not given a positive identification for the fugitive killed Monday during a brief gunbattle, saying only that he is a "middle-aged white male." That suggests the dead man is fugitive Mike Matson, a 48-year-old resident of California...
...According to Army records obtained by TIME under the Freedom of Information Act, sexually predatory recruiters are a national problem. Though the reports had all names and locations blacked out, their dates show a dramatic rise in sexual-harassment complaints filed with national recruiting headquarters at Fort Knox, Kentucky.

Indeed, the Army privately concedes the problem is far worse than those numbers suggest. They don't include cases filed...
...FORT DAVIS, Texas: Police shot and killed one of two heavily armed Republic of Texas fugitives after the man fired on police dogs and a helicopter tracking him. Authorities have not yet said whether the man was Richard Keyes or Mike Matson, who both fled the Republic of Texas embassy trailer Saturday rather than surrender to Texas Rangers. The other man apparently remains at large. Earlier in the day, the pair wounded two dogs in a brief salvo of close-range gunfire after police unleashed a pack of tracking hounds near a campsite less than a mile from the Republic...
...FORT DAVIS, Texas: Police got their first break in a five-day standoff Friday when one Republic of Texas member emerged from their ramshackle trailer, raising hopes that a peaceful end may be near. Robert Scheidt, the group's "captain of the embassy guard," abruptly walked out on the others still holed up in the home of leader Richard McLaren. "I had to get out of there. I couldn't stand it anymore," Scheidt reportedly told a state trooper. Scheidt was released Monday from police custody, where he was being held on a weapons violation, and traded for the couple...
