Darren Kavinoky, a lawyer who is no longer part of Markhasev's defense but claims to remain close to the suspect's family, says the Ukrainian emigre may find it impossible to enlist--much less afford--a top-notch defense, especially in a town where the victim's father is not only beloved but also powerful. Earlier in the case, Kavinoky tried to beef up Markhasev's defense team, approaching prominent law firms. None were willing to help.

...prices that put the cost of a machine closer to that of a household appliance. Houston-based Compaq introduced its Presario 2100 for $999 in February. Others have low-priced PCs too. Now the industry is bracing for a quantum leap in demand as people who previously couldn't afford a computer rush to buy one on the notion that one day a PC will be as indispensable as a car or TV.
