...gradually confessing to the murders of Nicole and Ron Goldman? Not according to the former football pro himself. ?I didn?t do it, so I?ve never thought about confessing,? he told the Associated Press Tuesday. But Daniel Petrocelli, the lawyer who successfully sued Simpson two years ago for $33.5 million over the deaths, claims to see evidence of a ?creeping confession? in O.J.?s media appearances. His biggest piece of evidence: An interview to be broadcast today on British television, in which Simpson jokingly attacks presenter Ruby Wax with a banana. ?That was astonishing behavior,? says Petrocelli, ?even...
Weitzman, a lawyer who represented John DeLorean and, briefly, O.J. Simpson, was an odd hire, considering his absolute lack of corporate experience.

This season three of Dateline's four weekly hours have often ranked among the Nielsen Top 20, and the show is reaching...
...Mexican society of 50 years ago. The scriptwriters of Titanic (favorite movie of Vili Fualaau and Mary Letourneau) composed a variation on the theme of impetuous breakaway. In 1936, just as the world was preparing to blow itself apart, England's King Edward VIII and Wallis Warfield Simpson enacted their drama of self-absorbed abdication. The basic story changes little, only the details: the personalities, the stakes they play for, the icebergs waiting in the dark, and as we now see, the ages of the lovers...
