During daylight, Lou Gordon, 49, is a $50,000-a-year middleman for a women's-clothing manufacturer. He wears slick suits, a toupee-and sometimes a gun. By moonlight, he is a part-time expose specialist on Detroit radio (WXYZ) and UHF television (WKBD). For more than a decade, he has been collecting ugly facts in Detroit and spilling them out to a mildly fascinated public. Always...
