...Furman used racial slurs during taped interviews, the defense could not compel her to testify. McKinney's testimony seemed to contradict the detective's flat denial that he had ever used such slurs during the past ten years when he was under cross-examination by defense attorney F. Lee Bailey. The defense would like to undercut that testimony, saysTIME's James Willwerth. "What's really at stake here is playing the racial card. The defense theory that Mark Furman was part of some racist conspiracy in the police department was effectively blunted when Furman came through Bailey's examination...
LIKE A BARNUM & BAILEY ADVANCE team, television crews caravaned into Union, South Carolina, weeks ago for the murder trial of Susan Smith. After unloading thousands of dollars' worth of equipment, scores of technicians invaded the town's 82-year-old courthouse, installing lights and vying for camera angles that accentuated the high ceilings.

Kathleen Bell, who figured so prominently in the defense's plans with her recollection of Fuhrman's rant about "niggers gathered together and killed,'' is at best a problem witness. Pellicano reportedly has gathered evidence that she is lying, and Bell has written a letter...
...trust anything the Palestinians say." Seeing the killers celebrated in the streets of Gaza, and how gingerly Yasser Arafat's governing Palestinian Authority has treated them (at least until very recently), most Israelis wonder whether it is possible ever to make peace. Even among Israeli peace activists, says Clinton Bailey, a history professor at Tel Aviv University, "people are asking whether making the deal with Arafat was the right thing...
