...that the cuts on Simpson's left hand were caused by the struggle with Ron Goldman, who gouged Simpson with his fingernails, riveted jurors. (Spitz even offered to rake his nails across defense lawyer Robert Baker's skin to demonstrate. "We're not going to have any gouging of flesh out in my courtroom," Judge Fujisaki said.) Even without that dramatic flare-up, the cuts--or rather the assorted stories he has told about them--may prove problematic for the defense. Simpson testified at his January deposition that he cut his left pinkie as he rushed around getting ready...
...press credentials and a ticket on Air Force One--riding as the magazine pool reporter in the great plane's Newt Gingrich Memorial Steerage Compartment, back behind the Secret Service, where they keep the crates of live chickens, the goats and the journalists--might have hoped to see the flesh and blood of democracy up close, but spent his time instead fantasizing a kind of Super Bowl that would pit the Soccer Moms against the Deadbeat Dads...

At one point, La Marquise de Mertueil remarks that La Presidente de Tourvel is a frump, with her "bodice up to her ears in case you might catch a glimpse of a square inch of flesh." The tense music and occasional operatic singing that bridges the scenes is also a nice touch, and prevents the pauses between scenes from becoming awkward...
There's an old saying that you always get back to basics. This wisdom couldn't be truer for Bill Gates, who has come home to mother Harvard roughly 20 years after he dropped out to found Microsoft corporation. Well, come home in spirit, if not in flesh. For along with Microsoft executive vice president Steven A. Ballmer '77 (who is a Crimson Editor), Gates has donated a healthy $25 million to the Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences (DEAS...
