<p>David Koresh's horror tale splits into dozens of stories, none
happy
</p>
<p> The children seemed normal to look at, but their heart rates
averaged 140 beats a minute. Said psychiatrist Bruce Perry, who
interviewed most of the 21 minors allowed out of Ranch
Apocalypse before it burned: "[They] were in a persistent
state of fear."
</p>
<p> Perry's findings were but one of the narratives springing
from the central horror tale at Waco. Investigators put the
body count for the April 19 inferno at 80. The Texas Rangers
scavenged 200 whole guns after the fire. The Justice and
Treasury departments began reviews of the roles played by the
FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. And cult
member Stan Sylvia, whose wife and daughters died, brought the
first lawsuit against the U.S. government, for $18 million.
</p>
<p> In Waco, embattled FBI Director William Sessions, after
touring the charred compound, received a standing ovation from
the locals. The big news was the discovery that the heads of
many of the Waco corpses had bullet holes in them; including
leader David Koresh's. A girl selling T shirts nearby didn't
believe it: "I think [Koresh] got out somehow...I think
he'll show up in two or three years."
</p>
<p> Koresh or someone like him.
