Roy Moore, 58, a veteran FBI agent famed for breaking Klan power in Mississippi, is considered the front runner to replace the retiring W Fark Felt as FBI director. He is set for an early interview with acting director William D. Ruckelshaus, who may elevate Moore to No 2 and position him for the top job when Ruckelshaus departs. Moore rose to prominence in Jackson after Hoover sent him to quell racial violence, later directing tough cases from Chicago to the Virgin Islands.
