I like Sara Vowell's writing and radio work and am listening to  
Assassination Vacations in which she investigates some famous  
assassinations focusing on Lincoln and visits relevant historic  
sites. I'm listening while working rebuilding on a  leaded window  
from the late 1800s from  a church on Cape Cod.

So here's the relevant information. At the time of the Bombing  
Timothy McVeigh was wearing a T shirt with the Jefferson Quote in IV  
"The tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the  
blood of patriots and tyrants"
There was subsequently a run on the Tshirts sold by a right wing  
supplier from Maryland.

Taking the idea in a somewhat different direction in September 2008 A  
reconfigured Jefferson Starship put out an album called  The Tree of  
Liberty, with the following set list.
