The case began with a dead fish and a rose in an aluminum pan, left on the hood of a car parked on a Los Angeles street. Taped to the windshield of the car, which belonged to a reporter for The Los Angeles Times, was a piece of cardboard with a single word: "Stop." The discovery in June 2002 unleashed a chain of events that has suddenly entwined many of the Hollywood elite and threatens to turn into the kind of scandal that the show business world has not faced in decades. You know it's big when Lowell Bergman is on the story. (Remember The Insider? "You'd better look into it, because I'm getting two things: pissed off and curious.") |
