Did Tim act alone ? How much did Waco impact the decison ? Is Vidal a media whore ? Does the shocking lack of civil liberities in the United States have an influence ? And what did you tnhink of the article in Vanity Fair .

Haven't read it yet. Which issue? Oh bloody hell just one more thing to do when the deadlines are looming...

No.
A fundamentall obvious and often stated reason for the bombing.
Yes, but this is not especially relevant. Anyone who writes for VF = MW, and I wish I did.
Shocking compared to who? (Canada maybe: I'm not trying to start a fight...)
I shall read it tonight if I remember....

Ah Canada, civil libertarian paradise, perhap the only place I've ever heard of where gay bookshops have been closed down on the grounds of carrying 'sexist' content

no, enormously, yes, have to question what influences what and how much waco/oklahoma plays role in this, haven't read vanity fair since the courtney love lip job.. disnfo.com is good place to read re this, i want to know if this was a federal building, how come no federal agents were killed.

Can some of Vidal's essays on McVeigh still be found online?

A good resource.
