...Simpson's lawyers have not crossed the line into cynical exploitation of blacks' sense of racial aggrievement. Case in point: Cochran's acceptance of security guards from the Nation of Islam, which strikes many as being like a white lawyer's taking on bodyguards from the Ku Klux Klan. Cochran and I have been friends for years, but we never discussed the Simpson case until it went to the jury last week.

Instead the message from many Southern Baptist pulpits was that God himself had ordained the separation of the races and that to tamper with it was to go against his will.
