...asking about LESLIE ABRAMSON all last week was, "Has she had a face-lift?" Actually, the lawyer for Erik Menendez underwent nothing more than a (very subtle) hair- lift, swapping her famous fusilli curls for a slightly more relaxed, swept-back look. Abramson thus followed the lead of O.J. prosecutor Marcia Clark, whose own makeover scored big in the court of public opinion. Abramson admits her new do was a concession to TV. "I like my hair its usual, old way," she says, "but it kept getting in my face, and the camera people at ABC [where she toils...

Early accounts said Martell Welch, the driver of the other car, stripped Word naked on the Douglas MacArthur Bridge, smashed her car window with a tire iron and then forced her to jump while dozens of people stood by cheering.

...daughter of a jazz musician, the New Jersey-born Lafferty originally sought a more placid career than her father's by attending Southwestern University School of Law, where Simpson trial prosecutor Marcia Clark had graduated 16 years before. "I knew after a year or so that lawyering was not for me, and I dropped out," she explains. "Clark hung in." After working as an assistant press secretary for a New York state senator and then as a newspaper and free-lance journalist, she started with Time as a Los Angeles stringer in 1988. Pre-O.J., she contributed to eight...
