...blood found on a sock inO.J. Simpson's bedroom and on a gate at the murder scene planted by police? Witnesses for the O.J. Simpson defense can't agree on the razor-thin strand of evidence that might support such a claim. Monday, Fredric Rieders, a forensic toxicologist, testified that the blood apparently contained EDTA, a chemical preservative used in crime analysis, which suggested that the blood could have been planted by someone with access to samples from the victims and the defendant. Today, FBI Special Agent Roger Martz -- who performed the analysis of the blood -- said Rieders essentially misrepresented...
...Another strand in the alienated right is known as constitutionalism, a belief that the government has violated the Constitution.

He blasted into the steep final leg and cut his arcs sharply in his gate-crashing style. He ended with a composite time of 2:21.96, 0.07 sec. faster than Kosir...
...this wonderfully open and hearty man kept secret. When people suggested Reagan was dyeing his hair, Milt, who adored the actor turned President, gathered up a few of his White House clippings, brought them out and showed them to the skeptics. The hair Pitts displayed had one silver strand for every 50 deep-brown hairs, not something that could be arranged in a tint. The fact was that Pitts had a fascination with Reagan's enduring and abundant turf. One day, while standing at the back of a crowd listening to Reagan speak, Milt leaned over and, with an affectionate...
