MARK RICHARD, 58 Sometimes called "Bigfoot"--he is 6 ft. 7 in. and no ectomorph--this Brooklynite is the institutional conscience of the criminal division and the investigation's acting chief. He has spent almost his entire career at Justice and has had a hand in virtually all the department's major international cases: Noriega, Koreagate, Jonathan Pollard and the Nazi prosecutions. After a diagnosis several years ago of esophageal cancer that some surgeons deemed inoperable, he asked his doctors to gamble on a rare medical procedure that saved him.

Says Rob Doughty, a Pizza Hut vice president for marketing: "Consumers were giving us a very simple message: they wanted something bigger and more fun for their money...
...Robert Ferrigno's THE CHESHIRE MOON (Morrow; $20) is just mirror tough; it sneaks a glance at itself too often, likes what it sees too much. Quinn, the hero, is supposed to be a stressed-out investigative reporter; and since this is Los Angeles, he's got a bigfoot Jeep with a camo paint job (there's a plot, but first things first) and a drop-dead Japanese-American photog girlfriend who wears cowboy boots with little chains on them. The bad guys include an old- time movie cowboy with a political itch and an aging football hero who < likes...
