In this week's cover story, Rose Kennedy writes about the odd cult of celebrity that surrounds Knoxville forensic scientist Dr. Bill Bass. Public fascination with the University of Tennessee facility known as the Body Farm kicked into high gear in the early '90s with the Patricia Cornwell novel of the same name, which featured Bass' research facility as well as a character based on him.
It's probably not an exaggeration to say that the Body Farm is now Knoxville's most famous attraction. In fact, it's gone international, as Lisanne624 notes over at Anglo Addict: Famed British comedian and writer Stephen Fry visited the Body Farm as part of his BBC show Stephen Fry in America.
So what did Mr. Fry think of Knoxville?! I took a quick look around his blog but couldn't find any Knox references. If anyone gets a copy of the show, let us know.
