The record — long form

The Bath School is the deadliest — the '27 bombing that killed 45, the quarter of the town's children. The Kehoe was the board member — the electrician who planted the dynamite, the alarm clocks that timed it. The truck was the second — the suicide bomb that took the superintendent, the 'picnic' warning that he gave.

The wife was the first — the skull that he crushed, the farm that he burned. The wing was the survival — the south that didn't explode, the children who lived. The Bath School is the forgotten — the deadliest school attack that's overlooked, the Lindbergh that stole the news.

The file keeps the Bath School: the 1927 bombing, the 45 dead, the Kehoe motive, and the truck bomb.

The Bath School is the archive's Michigan file — the deadliest school attack.

A school keeps its clock — the file's suggestion being that the Bath's hold is the method: the dynamite that was planted, the alarm that timed it, and the truck that was the second.
