...offices of Baker, Silberberg & Keener, housed in a huge, black-glass building next to the Santa Monica airport on Ocean Park Boulevard, just minutes from the courthouse. There, a four-module space called the "O.J. Archive" is filled with documents from the trial--and before. Johnnie Cochran, who had recommended his friend Baker to Simpson, sent over photocopies of all the defense documents in October 1995, immediately after it became clear that a civil suit was to be lodged.

Ennis William Cosby was born April 15, 1969, the middle child of five and Bill and Camille Cosby's only son. As such, he held a special place in the eyes of his parents--particularly his father.

Pickering, who spent four years as a legislative aide to now-majority leader Trent Lott, makes no bones about his ties to Mississippians in power--including Lott, G.O.P. chair Haley Barbour and Senator Thad Cochran. But Pickering is also keen to make his mark as his own man. Though not afraid to stake out a position on issues--he is pro-life, anti-gun control, supports a balanced-budget amendment, Dole's tax cut, welfare reform and the military's ban on homosexuals--he considers the TIME/CQ questionnaire too hypothetical to answer...
