...Creative Artists partner Ron Meyer, now president of Universal. Seems Meyer had unwarily confided in Ovitz that he absolutely coveted the property, only to learn two days later that Ovitz had snapped it up. In addition, Ovitz apparently isn't satisfied with his Brentwood residence, hard by the O.J. Simpson estate, which, presumably, is for sale. He's looking elsewhere, including at a place off Mulholland Drive...
...couple of weeks ago, on a Tuesday night, the country was treated to a very different this and that in the simultaneous broadcast of the State of the Union address and the announced verdict of the O.J.

There was much to meditate about the future: Sydney and Justin were in the legal custody of a man who had been found liable for the battering--and by extension the death--of their mother. The fact that the estate of Nicole Brown Simpson did not file a wrongful-death suit leaves open an even more macabre possibility: that either or both of the children, when they come of age, may sue their father for their mother's wrongful death...
