...life's par-five Tiger is on the green in two. He is not merely the most accomplished and recognizable athlete alive; he may also be the most uncritically embraced person on earth. Talk to people who know him, and rhapsodies flow. "I love Tiger," says fellow pro Hal Sutton. "He has always been cordial with me. He's considerate when I play with him. He's just a great guy." Tiger's agent and friend, Mark Steinberg, says that "as good a golfer as Tiger is, he's an even better person." O.K., so Tiger is Steinberg's meal...
...kitchen blender, they would shatter the organism's DNA into millions of small fragments, run them through the sequencers (which can read 500 letters at a time), then reassemble them into the full genome using a high-speed computer and novel software written by in-house computer whiz Granger Sutton. By contrast, the HGP divided the genome into larger, known segments, delaying the sequencing to learn more about the genes first. As an added fillip, Venter cross-checked his results by sequencing the genes in both directions, achieving a level of accuracy that so impressed his initially skeptical rivals that...
Dunne handed his information over to a new friend--Mark Fuhrman of O.J. Simpson-trial fame. Fuhrman had just written a book about the trial and was seeking a possible sequel. (His agent was Linda Tripp's pal Lucianne Goldberg.) With the Sutton material in hand, he headed up to Connecticut and, despite being "harassed" by the police, published his own investigation as Murder in Greenwich in June 1998. Fuhrman believes that testimony from the tutor throws into doubt Michael's original alibi and that his new story is "a concoction that puts him at the scene of the crime...
...month after Murder in Greenwich came out, Connecticut impaneled Judge George Thim as its one-man grand jury with the power to compel testimony on the Moxley case. Although prosecutors cannot comment on the decision, it may have been influenced not only by the Sutton leaks but also by another unusual break. After seeing an episode about the case on TV's Unsolved Mysteries, several alumni of the Elan School called to say that between 1978 and 1980 Skakel admitted involvement in Moxley's killing. Three of them were among the 40 witnesses Thim called. Their testimony presumably buttressed...
...today." Sherman is a frequent talking head on Court TV and enjoys the sweeping statement. But his follow-up comment, "The evidence was not strong enough 25 years ago, let alone today," has some teeth. Even Fuhrman believes the case will have to move forward "absent forensic evidence." The Sutton report, while intriguing, seems like a better argument for reopening the case than clinching it. And the credibility of Skakel's former "classmates" at Elan is being questioned. Joseph Ricci, who owned the rehab center, has told TIME that the notion of Michael's confession "is just preposterous...
