...Saturday TIME obtained one of the first copies to reach stores.) Which Simpson principals haven't we heard from yet? Only Denise Brown and, perish the thought, Simpson's children, when they come of age. Currently competing for last place is former O.J. girlfriend Paula Barbieri, who only last January signed a reported $3 million deal. While the public's appetite for books on the case has been ravenous beyond publishers' dreams, Viking must be a little concerned that the end is nigh. Two months ago, the publisher announced that it was halving its planned 1 million-copy first printing...
There is so much that needs to be explained. The plaintiffs have elicited damaging testimony from Simpson's former girlfriend Paula Barbieri, as well as his longtime buddy Al Cowlings, who reluctantly admitted that Nicole had confided that O.J. hit her. (Both were excluded from the murder trial because prosecutors considered them to be uncooperative, unpredictable witnesses.)

Even tangible evidence like his phone records were wrong: at one point, Petrocelli put up a display of all Simpson's phone calls from his residence and his cellular phone on the day of June 12. Simpson acknowledged the eight calls to ex-girlfriend Paula Barbieri--who has offered the potentially damaging news in her deposition, and may soon say in court, that she broke up with him that very day--and the two calls to Nicole. But the records that revealed he twice dialed his 999 code to retrieve messages from his cellular-phone voice...
...witness stand will include Nicole's friend Faye Resnick, who wrote a book about the tempestuous relationship between Simpson and Nicole and whose testimony is expected to open the door to further mutual character assassination and details of the couple's party-hearty life-styles; and former playmate Paula Barbieri, who will testify that she broke up with Simpson the morning of June 12, 1994, perhaps providing the spark for an explosion of rage that night...
