...alien" on your cover--with its predictable oversize head and creepy doe eyes--prompted one of my pet peeves: illustrations of extraterrestrial creatures that look just like humans. Get real! We humans are the product of a host of improbable accidents. Science tells us that space and life are weird beyond belief. And so are real aliens. ALAN M. PERLMAN Highland Park...

What's left for Starr? He continues his probe of Hubbell, who left the Justice Department en route to jail in 1994 but detoured into work for a host of companies friendly to the Democratic Party. Starr has just hired three seasoned prosecutors, in part because he needs the benefit of their judgment as the probe wraps up.

After last week, even Starr must know that time is running...
