While Quayle was hospitalized for pulmonary blood clots in November, tests revealed an “abnormality” on his appendix. Quayle underwent an appendectomy last Wednesday and his doctors said the growth, a mucinous cystadenoma, showed no evidence of malignancy. Other medical experts, however, suggested the rare, benign tumor could help explain Quayle’s history of blood-clotting: his November hospitalization was his third such illness in the last three years. A former aide says the first episode of clotting in his leg, unreported at the time, occurred late in his vice presidency....

Meanwhile, agents are scouring Bay Area machine shops. The Unahomer custom-molds his pipe bombs’ metal shells and would need special tools to turn them into finished devices.
