Athletes in many sports, of course, have long had histories of run-ins with the law, from tennis pro Jennifer Capriati with her marijuana arrest (the charges were later dropped) to baseball legend Pete Rose and his gambling travails. But Benedict and Yaeger describe an entrenched culture of cover-up and tolerance of criminal behavior in the NFL. And they devote nearly a chapter to the Vikings, listing 15 players entangled with police since Green was named the team's head coach...
Ever since his arrest five months ago, there has been speculation about how infamous Palestinian terrorist Abu Nidal ended up in Egyptian custody. Egyptian authorities refuse even to acknowledge they have the man whose terror organization killed or wounded some 900 people during the 1970s and '80s, but U.S. intelligence sources tell TIME they believe there's a mundane explanation at the heart of his capture--greed. Abu Nidal has assets in real estate and foreign bank accounts that the CIA estimated in 1990 was worth $200 million. But now Abu Nidal, who had been living in Libya, has cancer...
...died there, in homesick exile, on Jan. 26, 1962. Unlike so many of his predecessors and colleagues, he expired of natural causes, a coronary--an occupational hazard common to hard-driving executives. Or maybe he was just lucky.

WASHINGTON: Like a family's dirty little secret, General Augusto Pinochet is haunting Washington's corridors of power. "The U.S. government is deeply divided over what policy to pursue in response to Pinochet's arrest," says TIME correspondent Adam Zagorin. "Right now that policy is in flux." On Monday State Department spokesman James Rubin promised the U.S. would "declassify and make public as much information as possible" over human rights abuses in Chile under Pinochet; then on Wednesday he said that meant only that the U.S. would "review" the those documents. Rubin's shuffling is reflective of a fierce debate...
Pinochet may not end up being the precedentsetter that human rights advocates have dreamed of. Chances are good that by the deadline of December 11, the British will decide that his arrest isn't worth damaging their diplomatic relations with Chile and will set him free. But there are plenty of other dictators out there, and most of them aren't that hard to find. They are in hotels in Paris and resorts around the free world, ordering pina coladas while we watch them on TV. They may not know it, but they are testing us, determining whether we really...
