...complexities, the TIME-Harris interviewers polled two samples-1,650 members of a cross section of the entire population and 1,118 national and community leaders.

Edmund Dinis, the Massachusetts district attorney in whose jurisdiction the death occurred last July, seemed determined to compensate-or even over-compensate-for his initial timidity in investigating the biggest case of his life.

If he is given any credit at all, which rarely happens since people prefer summary condemnation to critical acceptance of monumental genius...
