...prep is a pain," Couric admits. The colonoscopy itself is conducted under a mild sedative. "I was chatting the whole time," Couric recalls, "bossing my camera crew around."

Adding to the furor was a factual account, Greentown, by Greenwich resident Dumas, who related unsavory stories of a young Tommy trying to strangle a fellow prep-school student and Michael "whacking the heads off of squirrels"--with a golf club. The Kennedy Smith rumor resulted in a suggestion by Connecticut medical examiner (and later O.J.-trial expert witness) Dr. Henry Lee that the Moxley case be reopened. This seems to have provoked Rushton Skakel into hiring...
