Instead, they were caught on video in 1999 surveying Washington, D.C. landmarks later listed as potential al-Qaeda targets, including the White...

As an over 50 year resident of California and a history buff, I've been intrigued how quickly the new State of California, at the end of a largely unpopulated and unsettled continent, built insane asylums to care for the mentally ill.
