Koresh’s death raises questions
WACO, Tintns (APj — The discovery that cult
leader David Koresh was shot in the head before n
quit k-moving fire killed his followers raises as
many questions as it answers
Who killed him'' When7 Why7 What does it say
about the end of the 51-day standoff with federal
authorities?
"It s a good question,” leff lamar, the FBI special
agent m charge during the standoff, said Monday.
I he guntire lorn us wmenoav
was getting shot |usl who ami
whv I* the question "
On Sunday, authorities said X
ravs and denial records proved
that the charred body and frag
mented skull found three days
•Iter the firs* were the remains of
the f.V year-old Koresh
Toxicology tests will he used
to determine how much carbon
monoxide laced his body. The
higher the level, the greater the
likelihood Koresh was alive when fire engulfed the
compound April l‘l Results will take at least a
week
Preliminary findings showed Korseh died of a
gunshot wound in the forehead. Justice of the
Pm< « David Pareyo said He said he did not know
whether any weapons were found near the body.
What it means is unclear at this point. Although
Koresh's hody was found alone, ail six cult mem
bers identified publicly by authorities had been
shot in the head
Jamar would not speculate whether that was
chance or trend.
"Some people may have been trying to get out,"
Jamar said "Maybe they were shot.”
Nine Branch Davidians escaped the burning
compound They told lawyers that Koresh was
alive when FBI agents started pumrneling the com
pound with tear gas. They said Koresh spent his
final hours making sure the women and children
were wearing their gas masks properly.
No attempts were made to gather the group from
Bible study and laundry chores as the FBI's assault
tightened, the survivors said. Then the fire started
The survivors said a tank ramming the com
pound walls ignited the blaze when it knocked
over a lantern An independent investigation con
cluded the fire — which took 45 minutes to raze
the compound — was set by cult members
Mavhe the cult members shot themselves to
escape the inferno, some say
"Kim is hv far the most horrifv
‘Fire is by far the
most horrifying
death any of us can
imagine
— Balenda Ganem,
mother of cult member
ing dtsath any of us can imagine,"
said Balendn Ganem. whose son,
David Thibodeau, was among the
survivors. "As to what any of us
would do when confronting
something of the magnitude of a
fire, who's to say what any per
son would do?"
Koresh's mother in-law, Mary
Jones, said he wouldn't have
committed suicide.
"God the Father told him you
can't do that He says under no circumstances are
you to kill yourself,'' said (ones, whose son, David;
daughters, Rachel and Michelle; and several
grandchildren died in the fire.
Authorities have removed 72 bodies from the
rubble. Koresh claimed 95 people —including 17
children, were inside and wanted to stay with him.
FBI figures place that number at 86.
The standoff began Feb 28 as agents from the
federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms
were attempting to serve arrest and search war
rants because of suspected illegal weapons, drugs
and child abuse. A gunfight killed four federal
agents and an estimated six cult members.
For the next 50 days, law enforcement officials
surrounded the cult and tried coaxes and warnings
to get the Davidians out.
Koresh responded with promises, preachings,
curses and threats.
"Look and see, you fools, you will not proceed
much further." he wrote the FBI on April 10. "Do
you think you have power to stop My will?"
Updated dictionary in stores today
SPRINGFIELD. Mass (AP) —
What do "safe sex." "politically
correct" and "karaoke'' have in
common?
They've all been used enough
in American language to make it
into the 10th edition of Merri
am-Webster's Collegiate Dictio
nary
The book, being released
today, the 150th anniversary of
Noah Webster's death, is to
some the ultimate arbiter of cor
rect spelling and usage To its
editor-in-chief. Frederick Mish,
it also represents a reflection of
society itself
"Our language is constantly
(hanging and evolving." he said.
At times those changes have
brought howls of protest from
language purists.
"1 cringe at some of the things
we have in the book myself."
Mish said. "But my advice is to
relax. There is no way in the
world you are going to stop 350
million people from using
words the way they want to.”
For example, people persist in
saying "ain't.” so it is included
in the Collegiate. So are all of
the most notorious four-letter
words and racial slurs
And so is the expression
"politically correct" (the belief
that language that offends
should be eliminated)
The new Collegiate, retitled
Merriam-Webster's Collegiate
Dictionary to reflect the compa
ny's deeply felt ties to Noah
Webster, contains 160,000
entries and 211.000 definitions
in all.
The editors who assembled it
reviewed and updated every
entry in the 10-year-old ninth
edition and made more than a
million changes.
More than 10.000 of the
entries are new words or mean
ings. gleaned by editors who
spend their days reading and
making notes on word usage.
Their jottings are stored in a
computer, as well as added to
the company's stock of more
than 14 1/2 million 3-hy-5 cards
listing all the words that stirred
America since 1790.
The file was started by Web
ster. a vigorous supporter of
colonial independence, who
wrote the first truly American
dictionary in 1006.

BU president
testifies at
MLK trial
BOSTON (API — Boston Uni
versity President John Silber tes
tified Monday the school has a
"moral obligation" to keep the
papers of slain civil rights leader
Martin Luther King ]r.
Silber said King's widow
didn't contest the school's claim
to the papers until 1985. Coretta
Scott King testified earlier in her
lawsuit she was unaware the
school planned to claim the
papers until then.
Silber said he told Mrs. King
in December 1985 that the
school had a ' moral obligation"
to retain the papers because it
was her husband's wish.
"We thought it quite appropri
ate to think that, upon his death,
Martin Luther King, like Lin
coln. belonged to the ages." Sil
ber said.
