...detractors, these are all at least debatable criticisms. And while West certainly isn’t unique among Harvard professors for his professional slumming (ask Marge Garber, fresh off a book about sex and real estate, or Alan Dershowitz, who took time off to defend O.J. Simpson and Mike Tyson), his relentless pursuit of celebrity and insatiable appetite for publicity sets him apart from the field—look at Friends of Cornel like P. Diddy and Mumia Abu-Jamal. That Summers chose to begin cleaning house with West might have been ham-handed and politically inept, but it wasn?...
...images before him. The 41-year-old could face a life sentence if found guilty for the 1975 murder of Moxley, his young friend and neighbor in the exclusive Belle Haven neighborhood of Greenwich, Connecticut. Dr. Henry Lee, the forensic expert who became famous during the O.J. Simpson case, also testified on Wednesday. Describing the murder in detail, Lee told the court the attack probably started on the Moxley driveway - where spots of blood were found - but that Martha was finally killed on a nearby patch of grass...
...fair specimen of passive aggression. Schiller, 65, has been treated for years as a world-historical ambulance chaser. A onetime photojournalist, he has made a career of tracking down the people involved in the great public squalors of our time--the Kennedy assassination, the Manson murders, the O.J.

For many of those years, Mailer has been Schiller's mentor, older brother and ticket to ride...
...straight-to-video rental. True, there is seamy intrigue. Bakley was a confessed celebrity stalker who sent nude pictures of herself to lonely men to solicit money. But there is no racial component in the case. Blake and Bakley's marriage never had the passion of Nicole Brown and Simpson's early days. Blake married Bakley only after she had a baby (Rose, now nearly 2) and a DNA test proved he was the father. Nor does Blake rank as high as Simpson on the celebrity scale. Blake, his youthful promise long gone, is merely a washed-up actor; Simpson...
...L.A.P.D. and the district attorney's office, needless to say, don't want a Simpson-like case--especially now. The L.A.P.D. has been in turmoil since the city council voted last week not to extend Chief Bernard Parks' contract. Los Angeles Mayor James Hahn says Parks is being pushed out partly because of rising crime rates. Parks, the most prominent African American in city government in L.A., says the reason is dirty politics...
