Death on Delivery
Chris Santella was feeding his infant daughter last Tuesday evening in the living room of his town house in
Rochester, New York, when he heard the boom. "It was like someone slammed a door hard enough so that it
shook the house," he explained. At first he thought it was his water heater blowing up. When no gushers of water
followed, he waited until the child was asleep before looking out his door and catching sight of the blasted-out
window in a town house 25 ft. away, the one rented by a woman named Pamela Lazore-Lanza. A bomb had gone
off, killing Lazore-Lanza and a male friend. The bomb was one of four such devices that exploded almost
simultaneously in different parts of western New York, killing five people and hanging a necklace of terror along
250 miles of the New York-Canada border.
The shirtbox-size bombs, delivered by mail or private courier, were packaged in brown cardboard and wrapped
with tape. Several bore the return address of an iron-and-metal company in Pennsylvania. In each was a fishing-
tackle box. When the latch was opened, it connected an electrical circuit and set off several pounds of dynamite
surrounded by shrapnel. One bomb killed Eleanor Fowler, 56, in West Valley, near Buffalo. Another was opened
by her husband Robert, 38, at his job in an armoured-car garage in nearby Cheektowaga; it killed him and a co-
worker. A third blew up Lazore-Lanza and her friend; she was Eleanor Fowler's daughter from an earlier
marriage. And on the St. Regis Indian Reservation near the state's northern tip, an exploding package lacerated
the legs of Lazore-Lanza's uncle, William Lazore.
Identical parcels were sent to the Fowlers' daughter Lucille and her boyfriend but were detonated safely by
authorities. All four explosions occurred within 90 minutes. It was as if someone was tracing the Fowler family
tree--in fire and blood.
At first some New Yorkers feared terrorism or a random killer. But by Wednesday evening, when police arrested
Michael Stevens, 53, and Earl Figley, 56, the grudge began to seem very specific. Stevens' girlfriend is a woman
 BME nyelvvizsga feladatok vizsga 2 4

named Brenda Lazore Chevere. The injured William Lazore is her uncle; the dead included her mother, her
stepfather and her sister--all apparently victims of a man they seem to have ostracised.
Chevere met Stevens and moved in with him soon after he got out of jail in 1989. He had served 20 months for
overselling ads in store coupon books under the alias David Creditford--"a con man who thought he was smarter
than anyone else," a defence attorney recalled to New York Newsday. Stevens reputedly suffered from
emotional instability--at his 1987 trial he launched into a speech about Jimmy Cagney. More seriously, in 1992
local merchants Susan Katz and John Spinelli filed a police complaint when, they say, after nine months of
harassment that included cruising their block and stealing their garbage, Stevens threatened to burn their
business down.
Stevens and Chevere, 31, have a two-year-old son. Recently, however, Chevere seems to have soured on
Stevens, for which he apparently blamed her family. Local newspapers said last week that his relations with
them, especially her mother, had nose-dived. He was reportedly resentful of being excluded from Thanksgiving
and Christmas festivities.
Figley, the older suspect, had boarded at Stevens' house, drunk with him at a bar called McGhan's, and was
regarded locally as a harmless layabout under his younger friend's sway. Last June, Stevens sent Figley on a
deadly errand to Mount Vernon, Kentucky, police say.
There, under the name Leslie V. Milbury, Figley bought 55 lbs. of Power Prime dynamite. (Government officials
later noted pointedly that explosives can be sold over the counter as easily as guns could before the Brady Bill.)
Back in New York, the two used around 48 sticks' worth to craft last week's bombs, according to the federal
complaint charging both men with transportation of explosives across state lines with intent to kill or maim, an
offence punishable by death.
Had Stevens been planning the murders for half a year? Or were the fatal packages originally intended for
some other purpose? One person who would doubtless add many questions of her own was, understandably,
quiet. Reached by reporters at the house she shared with Stevens, Brenda Chevere excused herself from talking.
"I've had a day," she said. "I've lost most of my family."

Don't Tread on My Lab

Science is like a flashlight; what it illuminates depends on where it is pointed. Traditionally, U.S. scientists have
been free to decide for themselves where to focus their research. From time to time, politicians and interest
groups would lobby for specific agendas--space exploration, say, or AIDS or breast cancer. But by and large,
science in America has been run by the scientists.
That is about to change. In what could be the most significant redirection of U.S. science policy since World
War II, the Clinton Administration this month is launching an ambitious Cabinet-level effort to set national
priorities and push the country's vast federal research program toward those goals. In effect, the government has
grabbed the flashlight.
The immediate aims, as President Clinton never tires of saying, are to boost the economy, strengthen U.S.
industry, protect the environment, improve education and create jobs. The scientific resources that could be
applied to that campaign are immense: more than 700 federal laboratories, hundreds of university research
facilities, 2 1/2 million scientists and engineers, and a national research budget of $76 billion. But the risks, say
critics, are equally immense. By putting blinders on the pursuit of knowledge, they fear, the Administration
could frustrate a research community that is the envy of the world.
