Two years after standing on the Brooklyn Bridge and watching the second tower fall, I joined the Dallas Morning News.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A Nashville man pleaded guilty Monday to federal charges of possessing the deadly poison ricin along with firearms silencers and explosives under a plea deal with prosecutors to spare himself from life in prison.
Neither William Matthews nor the authorities explained why the 56-year-old had the poison.
Matthews was charged after a tip from his estranged wife led police and federal agents to search his property May 31. They found the ricin in a sealed baby jar, two functional pipe bombs, five gun silencers, three blasting caps and bomb-making materials.
