LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
he games rich people play keep making headlines. Kicking off
a package on the Winter Olympics bribery scandal, Salt Lake
City Weekly's Katharine Biele contends in "Power Play"
that public accountability was sorely lacking in the bidding process.
And as Michael Jordan segues into a life of celebrity golf and
corporate shilling, Boston Phoenix's Michael Crowley leads
the attack on his heroic legacy in "Hot Air."
As the Clinton impeachment trial threatens to wind down, two other
infamous figures from U.S. history are recalled. In "Public Enemy No. 1," Tucson Weekly's Leo Banks recounts the 1934 manhunt that brought a bank-robbing John Dillinger to justice.
And Weekly Alibi's Sue Schuurman revisits one of the most
famous trials of the Cold War in "Alger Hiss, Perjurer."
Looking to what awaits America after impeachment, Austin Chronicle's
Michael Ventura contends, in "Letters at 3AM," that
the president and Congress have reached bipartisan agreement on
many key issues.
