...this summer in the black book of a murdered New York City dominatrix.) The principal players in the case were a casting director's dream. Leading Albert's defense was Roy Black, who had made his reputation defending William Kennedy Smith against a rape charge in 1991. The lead prosecutor was Richard E. Trodden, a former high school teacher who has been known to hang pictures of W.B. Yeats, Winston Churchill and Sir Thomas More in his office. And presiding over the case was Judge Benjamin N.A. Kendrick, a triathlete, marathoner, in-line skater and crackerjack darts player...
...from a legal standpoint, there's still no strong evidence that Gore knew where the money was headed ? or that the calls themselves might be illegal.

Washington was surprised in March when Reno chose Laura Ingersoll, a lower-echelon prosecutor in the department's public-integrity section, to head the politically sensitive investigation. From the start there were tensions between Ingersoll and the FBI agents she worked with. Building on her experience with low-level government graft, she wanted to construct a step-by-step case, starting with small players...
David Caruso, back from his impressive work on such motion picture successes as "Jade," headlines "Michael Hayes," the story of an idealistic prosecutor who battles crime and never smiles. Kirstie Alley, also bearing the laurels of an auspicious foray into film, is the star of "Vernoica's Closet," a sophisticated comedy about women's undergarments. These two programs, representative of the larger offerings, are clearly not to be missed...
