...close friend in the House." Even his wife recently observed sarcastically that "I was apparently married all those years to a man whose life was stranger than fiction." So, perhaps, was his death.

Nobody saw him enter the water, but that evening attendants found his clothes still hanging in a cabana at the Fontainebleau along with more than $800 in cash and traveler's checks. The former...

...hearing days, fighting for solitude so he can think. He reads the newspapers and staff memos with his orange juice and waffles. He used to have time to jog or play tennis. Now he runs up the four flights of stairs to his office in the Longworth Office Building. In the hour before the hearings start, he collects thoughts from his staff, plows through the volumes of evidence.
