...HALLMARK SENTIMENTS SOUND more like the musings of a smitten schoolboy than the clipped commands generally issued by a top Navy SEAL commando. But, though hardly coercive, the words landed a Navy captain in a cramped Washington Navy-Yard courtroom last week to face a court-martial. It was the first time such a proceeding had been brought against an officer of his rank since World...
...things are different. In a Simpson ripple effect, Judge Stanley Weisberg has banned cameras from his Van Nuys courtroom. He has also ruled that the brothers be tried together, as the separate juries last time created too much confusion.

We got cliffhanger after cliffhanger, and more subplots than a contemporary storyteller might deem prudent. And thanks to the lawyers...
