After 33 years of life, Timothy McVeigh now has just hours until death. Monday morning at 7 am local time, a lethal injection of drugs will kill the Oklahoma City bomber. One of McVeighs lawyers says his client is preparing for the end.

(SOT - 15:44:07) Chris Tritico - McVeigh Lawyer
Hes actually been in a good frame of mind through this whole process and it made it easier for us because of his frame of mind.
(TRACK) Graphic

But McVeighs frame of mind may be changing somewhat. For the first time since the bombing, McVeigh is now admitting some remorse for murdering 168 people. In letters to his hometown newspaper in Buffalo, New York -- McVeigh says quote -- I am sorry these people had to lose their lives but thats the nature of the beast. But McVeigh remains defiant saying he has no fear of his impending execution, claiming quote If Im going to hell Im going to have a lot of company.

(NAT - praying)

Meantime, protesters have already gathered to pray for McVeigh outside prison walls.

The entirety of our life is never judged by the worst act we have committed Ive seen a goodness in Tim.

But Timothy McVeighs true feelings will no doubt be exposed just moments before he dies. Thats when hell be allowed to speak his final words. Gretchen Carlson, CBS News, Terre Haute, Indiana. ))

Her opponent Kim Clijsters (KLY'-sturs) would put up a strong fight by winning the first set 6 to 1.
But Capriati would rally to win the final two sets closing the match with a forehand winner down the line that Clijsters couldn't reach. Capriati now becomes the first woman to win both the Australian and French Opens in the same year since Monica Seles in 1992.

[SUPER=03-Barcelona, Spain]

Madonna Mania has hit the world, starting in Barcelona.
Her first stop here in America will be in Miami and it's already causing quite a frenzy. The Miami concerts sold out in an hour and a half, but if you have the cash, and a lot of it, the newspaper and internet are full of tickets. The highest asking price so far... TEN Thousand dollars for a pair on the internet. If that's a little high, the newspaper is chock full of tickets for a few thousand. Still too high?
