...hospital emergency rooms and talking to colleagues, he and his team at UCLA identified four young homosexual men suffering from the flu-like symptoms of a primary HIV infection. Ho used a newly available tool of genetic engineering--the PCR test used most famously in the O.J. Simpson trial--to measure the amount of virus in the blood. Once again, he was astonished...
Before the first Simpson trial, I thought race was the major problem in the U.S. Now I realize what it really is: the biggest excuse. I pray that Simpson is forced to answer for his actions in the civil trial and that he can't hide behind tricky lawyers, his charm (now greatly diminished) and the "race card."

...Simpson claims the solution to the murders lies somewhere "in the world of Faye Resnick," yet his own world seems a far more treacherous and sinister one.

Simpson is liable for money damages for killing Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, the facts necessary for that type of verdict would also serve to prevent that judgment's discharge in bankruptcy. While nothing prevents Simpson from simply filing for bankruptcy, his legal bills are the only thing likely to be discharged...
