...nastiest relay in memory and succeeded in 1) giving the defendant a one-sided word with the world without the unpleasantness of cross-examination or any of the other tethers of jurisprudence; 2) restocking the larder against legal fees, the meter running like it is; and 3) stealing the thunder from another book brought out--there are no coincidences--just days before. This one, Raging Heart, is a work from the other side, written with the approval and cooperation of Nicole Brown Simpson's family...

As the orchestra began, its glistening harmonics were accompanied by a low roll of thunder; it was raining hard by the third movement. Kremer played the beginning of the first lick a bit raggedly but was well on target by the time he handed the melodic line over to the orchestra. His second solo passage came off perfectly, with brilliantly intoned harmonizations...
