Condit did catch one break last week, when law-enforcement sources said they now believe that Modesto-area minister Otis Thomas--who happened to do landscaping work for the Levys--had fabricated claims that his daughter had had an affair with Condit when she was 18. What is unclear, investigators say, is whether the Levys, who amplified the charge, had any reason to think Thomas was not telling the truth. A source who spoke to Susan Levy told TIME she believed his claims were "true and accurate." But any benefit Condit might have gained from that disclosure was undercut...
...stories have shared certain characteristics. To start with the crass and crucial point, they have almost all been cheap to cover.

...Africa's AIDS crisis. His onstage incarnations include Dr. Thaboo MacBeki - any resemblance to South African President Thabo Mbeki is entirely intentional - who exclaims: "My mind is made up! Do not confuse me with facts." There's also ex-stripper Bambi Kellerman, who believes that "racism is easier to catch than AIDS." In between characters, Uys tells sobering stories from the AIDS frontline: of schools that refuse to install condom-dispensing machines because they don't want to encourage sex; of the urban legend that raping a virgin cures the disease. The son of a German-Jewish mother...
