...member of the Philippines House of Representatives today. Joyous supporters cheered the 65-year-old widow of the late Philippines dictator after she was sworn into office by Chief Justice Andres Narvasa, the judge who helped unseat her husband from the presidency in 1983 . Best known for her shoe collection, the former first lady -- who is free on bail while appealing a 24-year sentence for graft -- exploited her flair for the impossible by winning a three-way race to represent her native province of Leyte by a landslide 33,000 votes five months ago.

Bodziak, flanked by charts and photographs, told jurors that small bumps embedded in the crime-scene walkway actually shaped the stains that resembled shoeprints. That was fine with Dr. Lee: in an interview...
...highly respected forensic expert testified in the O.J. Simpson murder trial that blood on victim Ron Goldman's clothing could have come from a shoe--but not the Bruno Magli shoe that prosecutors contend was worn by the killer. There was still no ruling on the admissibility of tapes that allegedly contain racist remarks and confessions of evidence planting by recently retired L.A.P.D. detective Mark Fuhrman, a key prosecution witness. Fuhrman's lawyer said his client might seek Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination if he takes the stand again...
