...Times to explain why he had backed out of the NBC interview. 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...
...WEALTH HELPED O.J. SIMPson secure an acquittal in his criminal trial. Now his riches have become a target for those seeking both vengeance and catharsis.

And Lafferty's deep connections within the D.A.'s office came through with surprising details about what prosecutors believe really happened the night of the murders. "We think we've seen it all on TV," says senior editor Howard Chua-Eoan, "but so much went on in smoke-filled...
...course. They can't quite figure the political benefits of saying more. "There's lots of talk about how this helps Republicans," says a Dole campaign aide. "Some say it'll work for us by osmosis. Some are talking about finding code words and code events, like having Ron Goldman's father speak for the victims of violence at the G.O.P. convention." 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. "The King verdict revolted everyone, but we figured whites would...
