...chance to see who came and went that crucial week. By not pressing Condit to tell them everything he knew about Chandra, they may have lost the chance to follow leads while they were fresh. Condit's side kept trying to steer reporters to a theory of a serial killer (several young women have disappeared from around Dupont Circle). Police have looked for similarities in the death of a government attorney named Joyce Chiang, 28, who was missing for three months before she turned up dead. They found the cases "unrelated."

Then the scandal broke, and years of accumulated suspicions burst forth--about everything from Jackson's alleged serial philandering to whether his family was unfairly profiting from his deals with corporations. To many blacks, it appeared that his time was running out. "What's his future?" asks Wyatt Tee Walker, pastor of Harlem's Canaan Baptist Church. "That's a no-brainer. Jesse's through. On a scale of 1 to 10, his credibility is about...
