...natural subject for Mailer, who has always behaved like a man in no hurry to dispose of his own paradoxes and whose last big novel, Harlot's Ghost, was a meditation on the CIA. But Into the Mirror is not exactly by Mailer. It's a novelization by Lawrence Schiller of a Mailer screenplay, based on interviews they both conducted. In July, Schiller begins shooting a TV mini-series for cbs from Mailer's script...
...Minister Joschka Fischer lied during the trial of convicted murderer Hans-Joachim Klein. Fischer had denied any contact with members of the violent Red Army Faction in the 1970s. But he allegedly later conceded that he could not rule out having had contact with Red Army Faction member Margrit Schiller.

...hour for his time and brings in far larger fees from plaintiffs' class actions--work in which the knives are long, the stakes are high and the fees higher. Firms like Cravath spurn suits like these, which run against the interests of their corporate clients. Firms like Boies, Schiller & Flexner, new enough to be free from such conflicts, do not.

"People need to leave feeling upbeat about the transition," says Schiller...
...that human messiness that is captured in CBS's excellent and disturbing Simpson mini-series American Tragedy (CBS, Nov. 12 and 15, 9 p.m. E.T.). Based on a book by Lawrence Schiller and former TIME correspondent James Willwerth, with a script by Norman Mailer--and contested in court by O.J., who tried to prevent its airing--it delves into the nest of brilliance, ego and sheer weirdness that was the high-priced Simpson defense. For the dream team portrayed here, justice is no science but rather a mix of fact-finding, gamesmanship, theater and politics--including the jockeying among Johnnie...
