...riots were, in part, the result of the inflammatory articles written by Pavolachi Krushevan, the Moldavian editor of the city's only daily, Bessarabetz. Krushevan leveled now-familiar accusations, unfairly implicating the Jews in the murder of two Christian children, and calling upon non-Jews for vengeance. Such a scenario--as heinous as it may be--is familiar to the European landscape. Only in the United States does our unfamiliarity with such anti-Semitic assaults on Jews also assault our moral consciences...
SANTA MONICA, Calif: Fred Goldman wasn't kidding when he said the O.J. civil trial wasn't about the money. While speaking on a Christian radio talk show today, the aggrieved father said he would renounce his claim to the damages Simpson has been ordered to pay his family if the former football star issues a signed, detailed confession that he killed Ronald Goldman. Steering clear of directly naming Simpson as the culprit, Goldman said, "The suggestion is that if the person . . . that murdered my son wants to write out a complete confession and publish it in newspapers around...
Except perhaps literally. Madalyn suffered from chronic heart disease and diabetes and, like many activist atheists, feared that at her demise, religious relatives might commandeer her body and give it a Christian burial (or, as Kerns remembers her putting it, "stick a crucifix up my a__").

He filed a missing-persons report, and when he became dissatisfied with the Austin police's response, made a short-lived attempt to gain guardianship of his family's estates. Two weeks ago he appealed to Texas Governor George W. Bush to have the Texas Rangers take over the investigation. Murray's letter of request made some remarkable assertions--that someone is still cashing his mother's Social Security and Veterans Administration checks, and that someone is placing charges...
...puts it. "It's a distillation of a lot of mythological religious teachings," Lucas says. "Not that I'm promoting a particular idea or anything. I believe in God, and I guess that's reflected in the movie, but that's about as far as it goes." A Judeo-Christian God? "I wouldn't go that far. My spiritual perspective, I think, is broader than the Judeo-Christian. But I hate to get into putting a label on it, because I think what I feel hasn't been labeled yet, at least not to my knowledge...
