...first type is reflected in Ed Hecimovich, 41, who had just sat down for a greasy- spoon lunch with his wife and three young children when the Secret Service swarmed Schoop's Diner in Portage, Ind., and Obama swept in for a cheeseburger. Hecimovich, a pipe fitter who twice voted for President Bush, asked the candidate about the economy, his top concern. Obama's answers impressed the independent, but he's still undecided. "I like that Obama stands for change," Hecimovich says. "But he doesn't have the experience...
...part, Anderson claimed that he'd been kidnapped at gunpoint (albeit a replica), forced to have sex while chained to the bed (and twice more unchained), and that, despite being six foot four and 240 lbs.

...innocent. He says Ivins cooperated fully with the FBI during two dozen interviews and passed at least two lie-detector tests. Kemp claims the FBI harassed his client for months, driving him into a spiral of alcohol and depression. Certainly, Ivins' last months were tortured. He was twice hospitalized for depression, once after one of his counselors said he had threatened to kill his co-workers. By then law-enforcement officials had searched his home, his computers, his cars, his safe-deposit box, his office, his lab and all his e-mails. Agents had interviewed his children, showing his daughter...
