...that's just the half of it-or more precisely, the quarter of it. By cashing in on a select few of the hundreds of requests for movies, books, testimonials and guest appearances, Barnes figures that O.J. will soon be earning three times as much as he will playing football. This summer, for instance, TV viewers will see Simpson break into the clear in a new Chevy, the first of a series of commercials for which Chevrolet is paying him a reported...
...real. And maybe, at that routine and commonplace moment of rage, she knew something, felt something like the cutting of teeth, like doom., I'm not going to use the eyes in this photo. I'm using the bars of the crib, blown up. I've yet to select a pair of eyes. She was necessarily looking at me in any good picture of her eyes. All I've selected so far are objects, symbols I suppose. The eyes alone would be enough for me, but others must see what I mean. I've thought of superimposing an enormous...
Unfortunately, we are left with the problem of selecting delegates.

...grades to select members of the honoraries is a major source of frustration for first-year students. It impresses upon those who wish to distinguish themselves (and this includes the majority of any class) that first-year exams are the most crucial part of law school. This is a major reason why the competition is so in-ordinately fierce. If success means making Law Review and making Law Review means being near the very top of the class-positions that cannot be occupied by everyone -- most first year students, by their own definition, are going to be failures...
