...those with an interest in the weak side of human nature, the beauty of the O.J. Simpson case is that just when you think the possibilities have been exhausted, someone else comes along and does something low and discreditable. Robert Kardashian is one of Simpson's close friends, and it was at his house that Simpson was staying before he set off in his Bronco. Kardashian spent months at Simpson's side during the trial. Now, in return for money, he has helped produce a book in which he cast doubts on Simpson's innocence. He has betrayed a friend...

Only when he was booked for murder was this "family matter" taken seriously enough to put domestic violence--the leading cause of injury among women, which kills at least 1,400 of them a year--on the national agenda. Network news teams investigated; talk shows buzzed. Calls to hot lines multiplied...
...least, they seem conciliatory. In his first statement after the trial, Simpson announced, "My first obligation is to my young children, who will be raised the way Nicole and I had always planned." The day after his acquittal, says Simpson's friend and legal counsel Robert Kardashian, "he saw them all day... it was a wonderful moment. It was laughing, crying, kissing, hugging--all the things you would expect from this reunion...
