``This case involves money, power and influence, something I know about,'' Fuhrman told Newsday. ``It was a brutal, unnecessary murder.''

Moxley was found dead outside her family's mansion, beaten so severely with a golf club that the club shattered.

She last had been at the home of the Skakel family, which had two sons, Thomas, 17, and Michael, 15. Both boys, nephews of Sen.

Waller's book, which was made into a movie starring Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep Noun 1. Meryl Streep - United States film actress (born in 1949)

, inspires either blind hatred or unabashed adoration for its sappily written story about a woman's passionate awakening with a photographer, and her decision to stay with her family instead of running off. Fans swooned when Waller, 58, said wife Georgia, 55, was his inspiration for the passionate heroine, and he was seen as something of a romantic guru.

Death of princess gets plenty of ink

Diana's death produced more column inches in Brit papers than even the biggest battles of World War II, a London clipping agency said Tuesday. The firm said that, on average, 35 percent of Britain's biggest papers went to Di stories. The Dunkirk retreat and VE Day got no more than 27 percent of newspaper space. The 117-year-old agency said ``no other subject in our archives'' compared with the volume of Diana's death coverage.

Stop the presses

Cardinal Chelsea sin costs writer his job

Don't ask, don't tell . . . and don't opine, as a Stanford Daily columnist learned, if your subject is Chelsea Clinton Chelsea Victoria Clinton (born February 27, 1980) is the daughter and only child of former US President Bill Clinton and United States Senator Hillary Clinton. She was born in Little Rock, Arkansas. . Jesse Oxfeld, a senior at Stanford, lost his job at the student newspaper after writing about the first daughter in a column his boss considered a violation of the strict policy of not covering the president's daughter.

Oxfeld wrote an opinion piece about the media coverage of Chelsea's arrival Sept. 19. Hundreds of reporters descended on campus but were kept at a distance from the Clintons. ``First, why, precisely, is it that we're all expected to bend over backward to give Chelsea and her family a `normal' Stanford experience while the first family itself is under no similar obligation?'' Oxfeld wrote.

He also criticized the Daily's rule of not writing about Chelsea unless she does something newsworthy. Oxfeld called the rule ``Clintonian,'' describing it as, ``Don't ask, don't tell, don't pursue.''

Stanford Daily Editor in Chief Carolyn Sleeth decided Oxfeld's column didn't fit in with the paper's guidelines for covering Chelsea. She killed the column Thursday, after the writer refused to revise it.
