...same affable fellow with the slightly snarky finish that he plays on TV. "I've never had much interest in being liked," he offers. "And I think people like that. It's a relief. So many people want to be liked." Sitting on a large green sofa in his living room, dressed in the professional funny person's uniform of jeans, sneakers, T shirt (and optional Oxford shirt, unbuttoned), surrounded by exactly the kind of stuff a Long Island high school kid from the '60s might buy if he grew up to be a multimillionaire--car models, superhero models, Mets...
...developments is a 29-page police affidavit based largely on the interview of a witness--said to be Gerard Capano, 34--who told authorities that he used his boat to help Thomas dispose of a body at sea and also helped him toss a stained sofa into a dumpster. Thomas Capano had told Gerard that a couple was trying extortion against him, and that he would kill them if they went after his children. At about 6 a.m. on June 28, 1996--the morning after Fahey was last seen--Thomas went to Gerard's house and asked if he could...
Brother Louis Capano Jr., 46, the millionaire owner of the family's construction business, confirmed last week that Gerard had told him a year ago about the body-tossing boat outing.

It is the morning of what happens to be his 72nd birthday, and Dunne is talking about the O.J. Simpson trial with as much anger as if the verdict had been announced that day, not 2 1/2 years earlier. He goes on: "How could Marcia have been flirting with Cochran? What kind of message does that send to the jury...
...That's why it's so late. Then when I would talk about it, I would say, 'I was having dinner with Marcia Clark...' and people responded. I got the idea of telling my story." Excitable, charming, with a voice like Jack Benny's, Dunne sometimes sits on the sofa's edge as he talks. His pied-a-terre (he mostly lives in Connecticut) is decorated in the conventional style of an East Side gentleman, complete with bird prints on the wall. Asked why he called the hero Gus Bailey, Dunne says, "Gus is me, but I needed...
