...blood found on a sock inO.J. Simpson's bedroom and on a gate at the murder scene planted by police? Witnesses for the O.J. Simpson defense can't agree on the razor-thin strand of evidence that might support such a claim. Monday, Fredric Rieders, a forensic toxicologist, testified that the blood apparently contained EDTA, a chemical preservative used in crime analysis, which suggested that the blood could have been planted by someone with access to samples from the victims and the defendant.

In the book, Yetnikoff comes off as a crude, tantrum-throwing and philandering egomaniac. "He's a brilliant man with a strong self-destructive streak," contends Dannen. Says David Braun, a top music lawyer in Los Angeles: "Walter got lost in the fantasy...
Sackler also holds temporary exhibits on the ground floor. The current show--the Fredric Wertham collection of abstract art produced during the 1920s and 1930s--offers a striking counter-point to Sackler's permanent collection. Included in the exhibit are a series of paintings by Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald (F. Scott's wife) that Wertham, a psychiatrist, obtained while he was treating her for schizophrenia...
