The space at 801 N. Hudson Ave. had been empty since the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 until Mandy Lathan moved her startup business Cadence Yoga there about a year ago. I wanted to find an area of town that really needed a renaissance, an area that was just ready to burst," Lathan said.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Tipped they might have missed evidence a decade ago, FBI agents searched the former home of convicted Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols and found blasting caps and other explosive materials apparently related to the 1995 attack, officials said Friday. FBI officials said the material was found buried in a crawl space of the house in Herington, Kan., which wasn't checked by agents during the numerous searches of the property during the original investigation of Nichols and Timothy McVeigh.
JUST BECAUSE a place has little crime, just because it's peaceful, doesn't protect the people from becoming victims. Or terrorists. We know this because we've seen homegrown terrorists kill hundreds of innocents in America. In the heartland, Oklahoma City, 168 people died in the bombing of the federal building in 1995 because Timothy McVeigh hated the federal government.
I just thought I would live forever. I thought I had plenty of time to do anything. So I put things off. Years of professional experience in mental health and nonprofit assistance agencies couldn't have prepared Debby Hampton for the changes wrought by the 1995 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City, she said.
Events such as the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 and the Waco, Texas, confrontation in 1993 shock the public consciousness because they seem so alien to daily life. Actually, they provide brief evidence of a largely unseen, shadowy world of extremists in our society. Leonard Zeskind, an investigative journalist, has spent years researching this encyclopedic history of the white nationalist movement over the postwar period. The exhaustive nature of the study is shown in "Blood and Politics" by the reference notes, which take up 76 pages.

The fiercest critics tend to be those writing about something they love, and for writer Gore Vidal, that something is the United States of America. Despite his upper-class upbringing, Vidal refused to go to Harvard after serving in World War II. He had already spent too many years in boarding schools, including the Los Alamos Ranch School (future site of Los Alamos National Laboratory). Vidal is considered a master of historical fiction, but his own life seems inextricably interwoven with current events. "I lose sleep over the future of my country," he said in a recent telephone interview from his California home. Vidal was most interested in discussing the nonfiction trilogy he has written since Sept. 11, 2001. The books include Imperial America: Reflections on the United States of Amn...

One of the early documents Kirk Humphreys received after becoming mayor of Oklahoma City in 1998 was a study from an international land planning group on how to revitalize Broadway Avenue. The study was completed after the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995.
In his recent book about struggles in the Democratic Party, Matt Bai quotes an activist who claims that Clinton "stripped the party of its moral authority and brought the country to the edge of ruin." It was not a poll-tested strategy, but an idea rooted in American political thought and carried along by intellectuals like the University of Maryland political theorist (and Commonweal contributor) William Galston, who became Clinton's domestic-policy adviser. Clinton felt boxed-in by the Republican ascendancy, but this led him to define his centrism as a fighting faith-an ardent defense of government that hit its rhetorical high point in the aftermath of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, when he lashed out against the far Right.
Judge orders FBI to share bombing data SALT LAKE CITY - A federal judge has ordered the FBI to produce more information about its record-keeping in response to an inquiry by a man who contends unreleased video and other records from the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing will show more people were involved in the attack.
