...face-high shutter in the solid steel door of the cell and calls to prisoner 4013970. O.J. Simpson arises and is led across the hall for his daily shower. Returning to his cell, he shaves at the stainless-steel sink. A heated kitchen cart is wheeled down the corridor, and through a slot in the door Simpson is handed a breakfast of scrambled eggs, potatoes, two slices of wheat bread and coffee brewed in a stainless-steel kitchen vat so wide it uses a bed sheet for a filter.

...They were going to bulldoze Confederate bones for that mall," protests Powell today. "Disney's America is four miles from the battlefield. People out there are fooling themselves if they think development is not coming along that Highway 66 corridor. This is about as good as you can get." That may be true, but it is hardly a solace for those whose imaginations still hear the crash of muskets and see General Thomas Jonathan Jackson standing like a stone wall...
