Once again entering a plea of not guilty, O.J. Simpson was arraigned on charges that he stabbed to death his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman last month. The trial was assigned to superior court Judge Lance Ito. Before the arraignment, Simpson offered a $500,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the "real killer or killers," and set up a toll-free number to take tips from the public...
Prosecutors and defenders battled over the defense's request to independently test blood found at the murder scene and at Simpson's estate. But Superior Court Judge Lance Ito said he would hold off on dividing the samples until he heard from experts on whether this would leave the prosecution with enough samples for its testing.

In contrast, the book's politicians and anti-smoking crusaders are boorish. Readers will feel superior as they chortle through Buckley's gallery of rotters and Puritans. The hero is Nick Naylor, spokesman for the "Academy of Tobacco Studies," the industry's lobby. He is a former journalist who was fired because he once mistakenly reported the assassination of a U.S. President...
...superior goofball plot, raffish cast and zany sex scenes (a critical test for a humorist) make this the funniest of Buckley's books. The style alternates between Saturday Night Live and Raymond Chandler: "A tsunami-sized wave of nausea rolled through him. Nick's eyes went groggily back to Monmaney, who was peering at him without sympathy. Yes, a real killer, this one, looked like he flossed with piano wire...
