...sexual obsession and obscenities are intrinsic to Sabbath's exaggerated character as a dirty old man. There is much humor in what makes us uneasy, and Roth extracts it, as he has done for nearly 40 years, with a technique and verbal flair unmatched by his contemporaries. Sabbath the houseguest rummaging through a teenager's underwear drawer or attempting to seduce his host's wife is the sort of baggy-pants antic that a young Philip Roth probably enjoyed in Newark, New Jersey's long-gone burlesque houses. Readers may remember one of them as the place where Alexander Portnoy...
...after Nicole Simpson and Ronald Goldman were murdered. Earlier, the defense team suffered a setback in its effort to present a theory that the murders were committed by drug dealers when Judge Lance Ito refused to allow the testimony of Christian Reichardt, the former boyfriend of Nicole's sometime houseguest Faye Resnick. Reichardt's testimony that Resnick's drug use had left her deeply in debt to dealers was crucial to the defense assertion the killings were meant as a message that Resnick should pay up.

...trial is still a circus, but with all the sidebars and sideshows it's a slow-moving one, like a line of aged elephants lumbering around the big top.

Judge Lance Ito granted prosecutor Marcia Clark's unusual request for permission to treatBrian "Kato" Kaelinas a "hostile," allowing her to attack her own prosecution's star witness. Under Clark's aggressive questioning, the former Simpson houseguest admitted thatO.J.was upset in the hours before his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, were murdered on June 12. Earlier, he had said that Simpson appeared "normal" that night. Kaelin said Simpson was also "a little bit upset" because while he had wanted to spend time with his daughter Sydney after her music recital that day, Nicole Simpson...
...when he realized that the sticky, blood-soaked glove he discovered behind O.J. Simpson's mansion matched another that had been found near the bodies of Simpson's ex-wife and her friend, Ronald Goldman. Fuhrman testified that he came across the second glove near a wall where Simpson houseguest Kato Kaelin heard noises on the night of the slayings and that it appeared out of place because it did not have any dirt, twigs or leaves on it. Under cross-examination by defense lawyer F. Lee Bailey, Fuhrman said he didn't remember ever meeting Kathleen Bell, the woman...
