...furthermore, it was announced that the magazine's traditional independence was being curtailed and that it would be formally brought under Conde Nast's control, a move Brown opposed and one that meant she would have to deal directly with the company's bombastic president and CEO, Steve Florio...
...victories of David Dinkins in New York City, Douglas Wilder in Virginia, and Jim Florio in New Jersey seemed to spell trouble for then-President Bush and the Republicans.

The affair was eerily reminiscent of the circumstance in the criminal trial that resulted in what turned out to be the unwarranted dismissal of Francine Florio-Bunten for trying to capitalize on being a juror while the trial was still going on. Florio-Bunten, who was convinced of Simpson's guilt, never wrote a book, nor tried to. Petrocelli had also learned that Pat McKenna, the defense investigator who had worked in the criminal trial...
