ATLANTA: Richard Jewell, the security guard under investigation for the bombing at Centennial Olympic Park, has passed a lie detector test but remains under FBI suspicion. The test was administered by Dick Rackleff, a former FBI agent now in private practice, who said in a press conference Tuesday that there was no doubt in his mind that Jewell had no knowledge about the bomb. "Jewell's attorneys are growing more and more smug and their rhetoric is getting stronger," says TIME's Greg Fulton. "The FBI continues to say that they are waiting for additional forensic results.

...Hepburn to Kennedy's, says Andersen, and William Holden to Jackie's. Andersen says it is likely, and Klein firmly claims, that Jackie lost her virginity in a Paris elevator to author John P.

But the way Michael figured it, he has always done his best under pressure...
...Even coach Hart, a folksy Texan who prefers to sit at the halfway mark of a race so he can time Michael's split, goes along with the transition, filling the sprinter's head with tough and fast imagery in the days between the two races. Agent Hunt and Johnson had hoped to promote their Danger Zone line of merchandise last week, but once the bomb exploded, they wisely decided to back off. Product line or not, Johnson was clearly in the zone as the 200 approached, growing surlier and surlier. "You have to understand," said Hart, "Michael's been...
