Editors in New York City immediately dispatched reinforcements. Denver bureau chief Dick Woodbury was headed for Montana when he received a message redeploying him to Los Angeles. At the San Francisco airport, bureau chief David S. Jackson ran into another harried traveler: Simpson lawyer Johnnie Cochran. New York correspondent Sharon Epperson and Chicago correspondent Wendy Cole found themselves on planes packed with other journalists. Cole dubbed hers "the O.J. Express." Seated behind her were talk-show staff members who spent most of the trip on an air phone trying to book Los Angeles camera crews...

A lady with...

When DICK ASSMAN sold his Saskatchewan gas station and went to work for the one across the street, it was noted in a modest ad in the local paper. Somehow, the ad--and Assman's snicker-inducing name--was brought to Letterman's attention. An appearance on the Late Show ensued--as did an agent, some commercials, a couple of marriage proposals and a name-recognition factor in Canada of 49%, according to a local polling concern, which means...
