Last month Fox Television's America's Most Wanted program reported on the case, featuring a sculptor's bust portraying List, now 63, as he would appear today. A tip to the program's hot line led FBI agents to Robert Clark in Brandermill, Va., an accountant who bore a striking resemblance to the sculptor's guesswork. Fingerprints indicated that authorities had found their man. New Jersey prosecutors expect to charge List/Clark with five overdue counts of first-degree murder...
...Marangu, Tanzania. For the guides, porters and food for the five-day trek, Marangu's two hotels charge an additional $250 a person. And don't forget generous gratuities. Money is constantly on the minds of the porters, who see each climb as a test of how large a tip they can extract from their clients ("Bwana, give me your boots when we finish our safari").

A year later Saranow, again relying on information supplied by Guess, got IRS officials in New York City to begin a criminal case against Jordache. At the time, Jordache's founders, the Nakash brothers, were embroiled in a bitter dispute with the Marciano brothers, who founded Guess...
Meantime, former Speaker Tip O'Neill was seen jetting into the capital, rumored to have been summoned by distressed old-line Democrats who were profoundly concerned that the scandals were gravely hurting the House and shaming the Democratic Party across the nation. One unconfirmed story had it that O'Neill, who disappeared as mysteriously as he came, had fingered the entire top Democratic leadership of the House as damaged goods who should be replaced by fresh men such as Indiana's Lee Hamilton and Missouri's Dick Gephardt...
