...just that with the parties under a gag order and cameras banned from the courtroom, the proceedings have been a little harder for outside observers to decipher. In reality, this is turning out to be a very different trial, with key pieces of evidence, including the bloody shoe prints, and the time line being cast in an entirely new light. Rulings by Superior Court Judge Hiroshi Fujisaki--who has been nicknamed the anti-Ito for his decisive, suffer-no-fools demeanor--have also caused significant shifts in strategy.

The deal, expected to be announced over this past weekend, is likely to be worth about $22 billion...
Back when Archie played, football players were given a modest "laundry stipend" of $15. Nowadays they don't even get that, though television-rights fees have increased exponentially, and shoe money has pushed the income of some coaches into seven figures. According to NCAA rules, a player can't hold a part-time job during the school year, lest he neglect his studies, or worse, be given a no-show, easy-money position. The current executive director of the NCAA, Cedric Dempsey, has appointed a special committee to explore ways to help the welfare of student athletes...
