An ultra-orthodox Catholic, he sent nude pictures of his wife to his best friend and, in one of the weirdest discoveries of the Mailer/Schiller research, proposed that his friend use the date-rape drug Rohypnol to seduce her. No mere diagnosis of "mental disorder," says Mailer, could begin to grasp the man's complexities: "There are great holes in formal psychology. Hanssen just blazes through them...

His mission, to avenge the destruction of his family, emerges...

Those would be: 100 points and 47 rebounds in a mere three games. He also shot 52 percent from the floor, made 8 of 11 from beyond the three-point arc and sank 32 of his 36 free throws, and graced the cover of Tuesday's issue of Sports Illustrated, his goateed face soaring...
