In pretrial
skirmishes over evidence such as Taub's «Miles for Meso» email, however, U.S. District Judge Valerie Caproni, the no - nonsense ex-FBI counsel who will preside, acknowledged that prosecutors must prove Silver's intent, but noted that a witness's belief can be strong circumstantial proof.
With pentimenti and shifts, afterthoughts and corrections, a gauche and blocky forehead re-drawn
over again three times, a densely worked then abandoned shoulder, the
skirmish is anything but the
evidence of a master breezing toward that final moment of perfection.
