...tomake one of the links that might tie O.J. Simpson to the crime scene, prosecutors will compare the hair of his dog to that of Kato -- that's Nicole Brown Simpson's canine companion, not O.J.'s pal and sometime actor/talk-show host. According to court papers released last night, Superior Court Judge Lance Ito approved the prosecution request to take hair samples from Simpson's black Akita (name: Chachi) and Nicole Simpson's white-and-tan dog.

In San Francisco, Superior Court Judge Stuart Pollak issued a temporary restraining order blocking enforcement of 187's provision that bars illegal immigrants from public schools. The judge said 187 conflicts with a 1982 U.S. Supreme Court ruling requiring states to provide a public education to all residents. State Attorney General Dan Lungren vowed to fight the judge all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. As-yet unchallenged: Prop 187 provisions...
