...when you account for all the revenue streams: legal fees; at least $60 million in gross revenues from various books; $5 million to $10 million in O.J. phone cards; $5 million in Simpson statuettes; $1.5 million in O.J. trading cards; Al Cowlings' 900 line--the whole affair begins to rank on a par with the annual sales of a mid-size company.

Although Williams, unlike his department, still finds approval among the public, he hasn't won over his rank and file. In a recent poll by the city's police union, 83% of officers said they did not believe he can effectively lead them. "Willie wants to have the respect of the community and the loyalty of the department," says Ramona Ripston, executive director of the A.C.L.U. Foundation of Southern California...
