Judge Stephan probably has months to go before he buckles up his dossier and decides whether to send the case to trial. But when the work of the investigators is done--whatever the attendant circumstances, whatever the role of the paparazzi, whatever the truth about the second car--they are likely to determine that this was a road accident caused by very familiar villains: speed, alcohol and bad judgment. An all-too-ordinary tragedy for an uncommon princess...
What I can assure you is that I weighed this case, as I weigh all cases, with great care. I reached my decision based on all the materials and testimony before me, having carefully reviewed the dossier several times and taken into account the entire range of views expressed. In cases where I decide not to approve a recommendation for a tenured appointment, I do so knowing that my decision may well be questioned, sometimes strongly, by some distinguished scholars whose judgment I respect. In these circumstances, I know of no way to proceed other than to be as comprehensive...
Kelly's crew of Mafia godfathers, Irish thugs, federal agents and neighborhood boys reads like a police dossier. There is Butcher Boy, a psychotic neat-freak who lives on steroids, Twinkies and cocaine and who lost count of his kills at thirty men.

He also left a previous job under something of a cloud. Several weeks ago, Jack Paller, CEO of Biosonics, Inc., a New Jersey medical-device company, told TIME that in 1987 he had demanded the resignation of Wigand, who was chief operating officer, because he was abusive to the staff. Wigand's attorney contends his client was concerned that Paller was misrepresenting the efficacy of a product...
...gumshoes also unearthed a domestic-violence complaint in his past, but Wigand takes issue with the dossier's claim that he "beat his wife." He does admit that he and his wife Lucretia had a serious fight in 1993, that 911 was called and that he volunteered to attend anger-control classes for about a week. "I don't think anybody is as pure as the driven snow," he says. "They've distorted the truth. It's not different from what they've done traditionally." Though he and his wife reconciled, in late January Wigand returned home from the airport...
