His attorneys convinced him, Simpson said, that his TV comments might hurt his chances of successfully fighting two wrongful-death civil suits that have been filed against him by the families of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. "My lawyers told me I was being set up," Simpson said. "They felt the interview was going to be tantamount to a grand-jury hearing." Simpson went on to tell the Times that he isn't broke ("I still have my Ferrari, I still have my Bentley"), that he would...

But the Dole adviser, who worked for George Bush in 1992, remembers how wrong they were back then. "We thought Rodney King would re-elect Bush," he says.
