...this restaurant: maybe it seems overstaffed, but then you see that they move people in and out quickly, and you know that has a value." One factor that Elkann is indeed constantly weighing is time. His Blackberry is in subtle but continuous motion, out of and back into his jacket pocket. Elkann says his grandfather, who is universally remembered for his graciousness, could also cut you short. "The problem is speed," he explained. "He was impatient.

This week, when Nifong charged a third suspect, team co-captain Dave Evans, Evans did not pull his jacket over his head and slouch through his perp walk. He called his own press conference. "You have all been told some fantastic lies," he declared, "and I look forward in watching them unravel in the weeks to come, as they already have in weeks past, and the truth will come out." His lawyer referred not to the victim, but "the false accuser," and released results of a polygraph supporting Evans' story...
