Simpson will also be quizzed about the six weeks leading up to the murders. Both the plaintiffs and the prosecutors contend that those weeks were important, that it was the time when Nicole Brown Simpson made a final break from her ex-husband. Although Simpson on the stand last week described Nicole as the pursuer--he had called her attentions "incessant" in his deposition--he acknowledges that he gave Nicole a $6,000 diamond-and-sapphire bracelet for her birthday on May 19, but that she returned the gift within two weeks...
...Taylor isn't just unlucky in love. She's unlucky in law too. Taylor has lost a suit against the National Enquirer, and she (and ex-husband Larry Fortensky) will have to pay the tab--$432,600 in court costs.

...first-class evocation. The essential artifact for both works is not the movie but the album. Coincidentally, each film's sound track was developed the same way: a dozen or so pop composers--some veterans of the '60s like Bacharach, Lesley Gore (It's My Party) and King's ex-husband Gerry Goffin, others so young they weren't alive when the Brill Building was the Pentagon of pop--wrote tunes with the bounce and pang of the old stuff. As Gore, who helped write one number in Grace of My Heart, says of the old songs, "They were simple...
