...Vice President to charges of hypocrisy that have yet to die down entirely. In the end, however, both Gore and Coelho decided that Eskew was a risk worth taking because he was the only person who could be what Gore needed--a friend and an equal, someone with enough faith in Gore to let him be himself. Of course, the most talented consultants cannot win elections by themselves. But, says a senior Gore adviser, "one thing that happens in these campaigns is that candidates either find themselves or lose themselves, and he's found himself." Sometimes it takes a friend...
...Knitterie Parisienne, a shop in Los Angeles that's popular enough to merit a publicist, is packed with 13,000 yarns in everything from chenille to silk to cashmere. "The difference today is in the fabrics," says Edith Eig, owner of the shop. "People used to knit with wool because they didn't have the choice. Today you have every choice imaginable."

...Michael Skakel is innocent," says his attorney Mickey Sherman. "He was innocent 24 years ago. He is innocent 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...
