They all fall silent as Diana Yukawa, 15, picks up her violin. She shuts her eyes and plays a tune by the singer Kyu Sakamoto, who also died in the crash.

Of course, with its sinister twist - the still missing Levy - the Condit saga could still mutate into the ultimate in O.J.-Clinton unholy spawn.
