Hearing the verdict in the civil trial earlier this week, our thoughts inevitably returned to the criminal trial, and we were driven to reflect on the O.J. saga in its entirety.

At least we may be grateful that the whole sad business of the O.J. Simpson case is over: Reqiescat in pace...
...Hickey without sacrificing the future of the University. Harvard should face up to the truth--it is unnecessarily hoarding cash at the expense of people, like Hickey, who depend on the money for their livelihood.

But these axons start out as scrambled as a bowl of spaghetti, according to Michael Stryker, chairman of the physiology department at the University of California at San Francisco. What sorts out the mess, scientists have established, is neural activity. In a series of experiments viewed as classics by scientists in the field, Berkeley's Shatz chemically blocked neural activity in embryonic cats. The result? The axons that connect...
