...Mexicans, whites and blacks lined the course continuously, from start to finish. Running alongside such a crowd, exchanging salutes with a group of police officers, high-fiving a row of wide-eyed children, waving to the passengers in the tram and to the clattering El as its air horn blared on the tracks above the course, I experienced such a sense of euphoric exhilaration that it was difficult not to realize what the race was really about...
...jury that had just rendered a not-guilty verdict. The charges this time were battery and auto burglary. Simpson's neighbor Jeffrey Pattinson alleged that the former NFL star ran a stop sign, nearly causing an accident, went verbally ballistic on him when Pattinson honked his horn and finally yanked his glasses off.

...onto more Western instruments; thus the rolling 6/8 rhythms of the mbira, or thumb piano, become arpeggiated guitar patterns, and the high-pitched shakers are replaced with energetic high-hat work. Mapfumo’s band, the appropriately named Blacks Unlimited, usually numbers around 20, with guitarists, an energetic horn section, mbira players, percussionists and a barrage of backing girls deliver an awe-inspiring show that maintains its roots in the spiritual musical tradition of the country...
