...Littleton, a psychiatric counselor from Boston, was also a previous suspect. He was granted immunity in return for testifying against Skakel before a grand jury in 1998. Thursday's proceedings leave the jury in recess while the court probes "third party suspect" evidence against Littleton and lays the groundwork for his cross-examination. While Littleton cannot be charged, audio and videotape evidence that he confessed to the murder to his ex-wife could help Skakel's case. "We are looking to introduce evidence that not only did Michael Skakel not commit the crime, but someone else did," says Sherman...

...they will like the strong horse." Here he was indeed prophetic: the mistake was in not knowing which mount was which. In the month since he savored his triumph, the army of Taliban faithful has collapsed. If the scouts are right, he has had to flee to the deepest recess of a Tora Bora cave. His prediction of inflamed and inspired Muslims flocking to his cause was refuted by the quiet of the Arab streets and the murmur of clerics who denounced his acts. The superpower that was supposed to cringe and flail instead sent its best warriors to search...
