...suits and Dior shirts. Acting under cover, he became the lover of the mistress of a French heroin ring boss, cracking a drug and counterfeit network extending from France to the U.S. and Canada. Working with New York City's Knapp Commission looking into police corruption, he helped convict an assistant district attorney of bribery. He was brought in from the cold in 1975 to become head of the DEA enforcement section in Mexico City, charged with investigating the flow of drugs from Latin America...
...racetrack distribution of liquor by companies like Marley's. But despite Adamson's testimony almost two years ago--and his sentencing to 48 years in prison last month--Marley has not been prosecuted or even arrested in connection with Bolles's death.

Then he said that Jackson and Steinbrenner deserved each other, calling Reggae a liar and Steinbrenner "a convict"--a reference to his boss's conviction a few years back for illegal contributions to Richard Nixon's wonderfully clean 1972 campaign. It's not nice to call your boss a convict, even if it's true. Martin knew what he was doing, though; there was a clause in his contract...
