...discredit Pitts, as he did in the earlier trials. He would bring up the money federal agents paid Pitts back then and would pronounce the government's main witness "bought and sold." And Arrington would revive old allegations that the FBI let Pitts cavort with a mysterious blond while he was in custody. "I got pictures of her in a car with Billy Roy," Arrington boasts. It was these doubts about the government's star witness, he says, not jury tampering, that hung the previous Bowers juries. He thinks they could work again...
...names, new resumes, new life stories. There is no charge but the life you walk in with, because that person is ended forever, and a new one rises up and disappears into a network of safe houses and churches, zigzagging away from dads and police and private detectives. A blond might become a brunet. A long-haired girl might become a short-haired boy. It takes months, sometimes longer, before you can stop and blend in somewhere, unreachable, unrecognizable.

"He's tied up with his advisers," he barks into two phones when Bulworth has disappeared...
...tabloids. Letourneau's relationship with Vili, who turns 15 in June, as well as her conviction and imprisonment, have drawn international attention. The BBC has come to Seattle to film a documentary. Her image has been an alluring paradox: at once darling suburban teacher and predatory monster; so blond, so pretty, so...dangerous to children? She is more complicated, of course, and soon several magazines will render her in brushstrokes instead of spray paint. But even here there is haste: Mirabella and Spin rushed out advance copies of their articles last week to preview salacious disclosures. Letourneau, in jail...
