Although several witnesses say the gunman was black, Hardaway believes white people put him up to it. He sees no connection between the shootings and the rash of church arsons--but other blacks do.

This is the same agent who arranged a party after the N.B.A. draft, where for a $10 fee, friends and admirers could come and celebrate Robinson's impending wealth. That's chutzpah...
