(AP) — A Liberty University student arrested after homemade explosive devices were found in the trunk of his car was planning to be among thousands attending the funeral of the Rev. Jerry Falwell, Campbell County authorities said. Mark David Uhl, 19, was arrested Monday night on charges of manufacturing an explosive device, Major Steve Hutcherson said. He said Uhl told a family member he had made bombs and planned to attend the funeral. The family member notified authorities. Gaddy described the five bombs as "sort of like Napalm." He said they were about the size of soda cans and were filled with gasoline and Styrofoam, which dissolves and forms a sticky substance. "When it blows up, it sticks to things and burns," he said.

I thought that some of the metaphysical imagery was really particularly effective. Oh...and interesting rhythmic devices too which seemed to counterpoint the surrealism of the underlying metaphor of the humanity of the poet's compassionate soul which contrives through the medium of the verse structure to sublimate this, transcend that, and come to terms with the fundamental dichotomies of the other--and one is left with a profound and vivid insight into whatever it was the poem was about.
