...Citadel they announced the news over the school's intercom system. Brian Wamsley, a 1992 graduate working at the school's computer center, reported that "it was just like winning the World Series. People were yelling and screaming and slapping high fives. It was chaos." For the moment no one seemed worried about Faulkner's intent to appeal the case as high as necessary. "It's good to know there are still some conservative people in this nation," said Wamsley. "We'll definitely be toasting the courts tonight...
...driven from the murder scene to O.J.'s home not to investigate but simply to inform him of Nicole's death and arrange for their children's care. The detectives, puzzled to see lights on in the mansion at that hour (5:10 a.m.), received no answer through the intercom at the gate. When Fuhrman discovered what he thought was a spot of blood on the haphazardly parked Bronco nearby, he vaulted a 5-ft. fence onto the property -- intent, he said, on foiling the Bronco's driver in the event that he might be stalking Simpson or his guests...
...opened with the testimony of limousine driver Allan Park and Simpson houseguest Brian ("Kato") Kaelin. Park, whose ferrying of Simpson to the Los Angeles airport at around 11:15 on the night of the murder had been part of Simpson's alibi, reported that O.J. did not answer his intercom until around 10:56.

"They want to turn all that into lawn furniture and hot-tub decking," Thron yells over the Cessna's intercom. A much larger area of nearly 40,000 acres is scarred and scraped by bulldozers, its salmon-spawning streams choked with silt. Some of this is healthy second growth (redwoods reach marketable size in 50 to 80 years), but the recently logged areas look as if they had been fought...
...rawest and most recent disaster is Summitville in the San Juan Mountains of southern Colorado. Over the plane's intercom, Flynn tells its shabby history. In all, some 280,000 ounces of gold were extracted, worth $98 million at today's price of $350 per oz. But the mine's leach pad, designed to catch sodium cyanide flushed through pulverized rock to dissolve gold, had been installed badly, in midwinter. It leaked, and the resulting solution of heavy metals in the acidic drainage poisoned 17 miles of the Alamosa River, which waters farms and ranches in the San Luis Valley...
