When Schiller was a kid, Mailer wrote in The Executioner's Song, he had a police radio, a bicycle and a camera. When he heard about an accident, he tore off toward it. Even if the scene was far away and he was tardy, Schiller sold pictures of the skid marks to insurance companies. So he was right at home last week in the car wreck called the O.J. Simpson trial...

Gingrich promises that Thomas will take power away from lobbyists, but if so, that may just mean Thomas...
