Mississippi--home of the blues...but things are getting better. And not the least for Republicans--Senator Trent Lott is Senate Majority Leader, Senator Thad Cochran heads two Senate agriculture committees--and farming is key in Mississippi--Haley Barbour is G.O.P. chairman, and Representative Roger Wicker was the first president of the Republican class of 1994.

Cochran simply denies a big scoop in The Run of His Life, that shortly after the murders, he told a friend Simpson should plead guilty...
...microchip-driven, infrared-transmitting cards are programmable by the wearer, who is asked to input responses to five questions designed to triangulate one's heart, soul and Q rating. Sample question: With whom would you rather have dinner? a) O.J. Simpson, Marcia Clark and Johnnie Cochran; b) Marvin Minsky, Noam Chomsky and Jerome Lettvin; or c) Peter Gabriel, Laurie Anderson and Yo-Yo Ma. (I'd pick b, unless I was looking for a book deal...
