...this marketing strategy that catapulted O.J. books in 1995, Princess Diana books in 1998, Clinton books in 1999-2000 and “stolen election” books in early 2001, up the best-seller lists.

After Princess Diana’s untimely death in 1997, he appeared on 20/20 with Barbara Walters to discuss life under intense media scrutiny. Moved to tears, he pleaded in his characteristic soft tones to be treated with the decency due any normal human being. “I’m not a Jacko. I’m Jackson....Wacko Jacko, where did that come from...
