Whether one believes that Simpson was telling the truth depends, like so much else in this bog of a case, on perspective. What is incontrovertible, however, is that he remained unwavering as he wove a net of denials and declarations of innocence. O.J. will get another chance to speak in his own defense; his attorneys in the wrongful-death suit brought by the victims' families will recall him to the stand to answer friendlier questions when they present their case. But as in the criminal trial, it may be hard to recognize a defining moment when it actually occurs. Detective...
...they attend Harvard; sure, they make up a large portion of the student body, but to characterize either Harvard or boarding school as exclusively for "preppies" would be a misrepresentation. Boarding schools today take students from all over the world with all kinds of talents, interests and backgrounds. And truth be told, if you are white, rich, from Massachusetts and going to private school, you represent ever thing that Mr. Hicks and Harvard are trying to minimize in their admissions -- the last thing they want is a uniform student body of "Muffys and Buffys," wearing pink sweaters tied around their...

Into this tranquil little world blunders the well-meaning but clumsy idealist Gregers, whose efforts to clear away the "swamp gases" of deceit and in its place erect a "foundation of truth" only end in destroying it beyond repair...
...very successful in painting the GOP as a party that didn't care about children, minorities, women and the elderly--a party that didn't care for all Americans. Some in the Republican Party would like to point out that Bill Clinton played fast and loose with the truth and unfairly got away with unfair charges regarding Medicare and Social Security. And while they are right, and while the Republican Party is not the uncaring beast that President Clinton tried to make it out to be, it is clear that a party that does not paint the picture...
...matter which version of events the predominantly white jury ultimately chooses to believe when the trial ends, anyone expecting them to reach some holy grail of truth this time around will be disappointed. All that is needed is a "preponderance of the evidence"--a much lower standard than reasonable doubt--and eight out of 12 jurors in agreement. Simpson may be held liable in the deaths of these two people, but he will not go to prison. Depending on the cleverness of his attorneys, Simpson may not even have to pay full damages, although this case is less about money...
