During the 1992 primaries, Castellanos called Morris to talk about Clinton, whom Castellanos felt would be tough to beat. "Dick said not to worry," Castellanos remembers. "He said, 'Bill Clinton is a fatally flawed candidate who's running around the track with a time bomb strapped to his back. And I have the detonator.'" Castellanos asked him what he meant, and he says Morris talked about the Clinton peccadilloes that would become infamous during the Gennifer Flowers eruption. Morris denies the story. But operatives in four other campaigns told Time they heard Morris make similar remarks. Consultant Goodman says...
Meanwhile, the former security guard's lawyers engaged in a media blitz to deliver him from the same fate. As the days following the leakage of Jewell's name as a suspect in the Centennial Olympic Park bombing turned to weeks without an arrest, defense counsel Jack Martin led reporters on a hike from the place where Jewell showed officials the bomb to the pay phone from which a warning call was placed a minute and a half later. The brisk walk, presumably faster than the pace Jewell could have sustained through Olympic crowds, took four minutes. Then last week...
...would the bureau want to apologize to someone it's investigating?" Another in Washington added that the inquiry's pace "isn't that unusual.

The bureau has referred to "other suspects" in the bombing, but some of them, say Washington officials, have a Jewell connection. Bomb components being reconstructed by the feds may someday lead elsewhere. But meanwhile, Jewell and his distraught mother (who was planning her own press conference) "have no semblance of a normal life," says Bryant. Jewell rarely leaves the besieged apartment...
...gratification, officials handling the investigation into the crash of TWA Flight 800 see no reason to satisfy that craving. Confirming last week the discovery of microscopic traces of PETN, or pentaerythritol tetranitrate, on a piece of the plane's midsection, investigators moved one step closer to declaring that a bomb or a missile brought down the aircraft. But they caution that there are still many steps to go. A senior Justice Department official told TIME that the PETN, which is used in plastic explosives, is so far the only piece of forensic evidence the investigators have of a possible bomb...
...shadows like a stranger." I suggest that brotherhood is there also. The picture accompanying the story shows a wounded white man cradling a more seriously wounded black man in his arms. The world's salvation lies in such love being more powerful than fear, not in better security and bomb-detection devices. CHRISTINE KERBSTAT Julian, California...
