Although nobody really believes that two of the strongman's intelligence agents would have independently conceived and executed a terror attack of such dramatic consequence, Ghaddafi appears to have somehow satisfied himself that the current trial would be unlikely to implicate him directly. And while it was conceivable, given the cycle of Libyan-sponsored terror attacks and retaliatory U.S. bombings of Libya during the '80s, that the attack on Pan Am 103 was authored in Tripoli, analysts have long speculated that the Libyans might have been subcontracted by a third party such as Iran or Syria.

...after the terror had claimed the heads of his father and mother, Louis Charles--next in line for the French throne--finally earned his release from the Temple prison in Paris. He had suffered the dank filth, the coarse ministrations of a guardian cobbler and long periods of isolation before succumbing, at age 10, to tuberculosis. The prince was dead. Vive la Revolution...

Theresa, played with empathy and toughness by Mary Beth Fisher, is indeed a victim, but also a strong, fallible, fully realized character. As the terror mounts, she is forced to call the police, move out of her apartment and finally change her name and her life. But there's never a cry for pity, a whiff of the self-righteous. When her ditsy secretary confesses that it was she who gave Tony her home number, Theresa...
