There hasn't been much in Darrell Wayne Condit's sad life to distinguish him. The Florida drifter's rap sheet is a pathetic recitation of offenses so mundane--drugs, robbery, auto theft, driving with a suspended license--they would barely have made the local news pages. And yet there he was last week on the front page of the New York Post, stringy haired and glassy eyed under a headline demanding: ASK HIM. How did he come to figure in the sensational case of the nation's most famous missing person? Was there any evidence that he had anything...
...shred, sources close to the Levy family concede. But the demand by unnamed Levy "family sources" that police find and question Darrell Condit, who was arrested Saturday on an unrelated charge (a DUI parole violation), served its purpose. It gave reporters a new angle to cover in a case that has been cold almost from the beginning. And that kept the pressure on police to continue looking for Chandra Levy--and on Congressman Gary Condit to provide whatever he may know about how and why she vanished...
...McKay came forward to tell her story, lawmakers moved farther away from Condit. A fellow Blue Dog Democrat, Texas Representative Charles Stenholm, who sits beside Condit on the Agriculture Committee, issued a statement denouncing Condit.

...source tells TIME that Condit is wrestling with how to spend the August recess. Does he go home and hide out? Does he face public scrutiny or take a vacation? Such suffering, of course, means nothing next to that of the Levys, who have endured nearly 100 days of agony. In a move born of frustration, Susan Levy, Chandra's mother, hinted that the family may sue Condit in civil court, although for now such a suit seems unlikely. And it felt like desperate, heartbroken hope when Chandra's mother stood outside her Modesto, Calif., home late last week...
...When McKay spoke to TIME last month, she didn't acknowledge an affair with Condit. But she did offer insights into the 53-year-old politician. She claimed that Condit's staff felt "betrayed" by his relationship with Levy and the fallout that followed. According to McKay, who was single and in her early 20s when she worked for Condit but is now married, the Congressman and his wife Carolyn "didn't have the typical relationship. It was more of a business relationship...
