Few homicide cases in this nation's history have been shrouded by as much legend as the 1955 killing of 14-year-old Emmett Till.
Some of those legends took root not long after the black youth from Chicago was abducted, beaten and shot to death, apparently for wolf-whistling at Carolyn Bryant, a white woman, at a grocery store in Money, Miss. Some have sprung up since.
Now, more than a half century after the murder, an FBI report recommends that District Attorney Joyce Chiles re-examine the case, which could serve to separate fact from fiction.
