...Johnnie Cochran is claiming victory in another contest with Marcia Clark, this time over who got the more lucrative book deal. Just days after Clark received a reported $4.2 million advance for her account of the Simpson trial, Cochran struck back with what is rumored to be a heftier contract for "My Journey to Justice: The Autobiography of Johnnie L. Cochran, Jr." The Simpson trial has also been a windfall for a number of other would-be authors, including Christopher Darden ($1.7 million) and Robert Shapiro ($1.5 million). The big loser?

...MESSAGE IS TO THE PIOUSLY PREACHing Johnnie Cochran and others: "Woe to you, lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge; you did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering you hindered" (Luke 11: 52). CAROL BERRY, Waco, Texas...

And it is to Cochran's credit that one could see his speech for free, unlike a certain prosecutor we could mention...
...REmarks of Los Angeles writer and social commentator Karen Grigsby Bates in the TIME forum of opinions on the "trial of the century." She said Fred Goldman, the father of murder victim Ron Goldman, "brought the Holocaust" into the trial. Goldman was reacting with justifiable outrage to Johnnie Cochran's likening Mark Fuhrman to Hitler. Even though Bates said Goldman has the right to be hurt by the loss of his son, she then characterized Goldman as manipulative when he "played the Holocaust card," as if this were all a game with no real issues and no real consequences.
