...Fuhrman. A weird alphabet: DNA, O.J., A.C., L.A.P.D., the N word. All are signposts to a greater geography, one uneasily contained on the premises of the California Superior Court. Television viewers saw the proceedings and were captured by the legal dramatics; and yet there were always hints of unseen details and untold tales. In the 474 days between the arrest and the release of O.J. Simpson, TIME's reporters and correspondents attended confidential sessions, debriefing the principals; once the verdict was delivered, the major players cast even greater light on the drama's hidden plots. Now the story behind...
...Dutchess County, New York; a reporting junket to the West Indies with his teenage son; and a cross-country automobile trip with his wife to celebrate the first anniversary of his successful surgery. Several times during his narration, Morrow writes of being invisible--of being, in various contexts, an unseen observer.

In California on a quick job, they run up against a vicious, unseen ganglord named Keyser Soze-a name that has the smolder of Satan in it. One by one, the thieves...
...more than happy about the release of Burma's chief dissident, Aung San Suu Kyi, after six years of house arrest [BURMA, July 24]. She is the only person who can bring peace to Burma. With her humanitarianism, intellect and Buddhist gentleness, she brings a hitherto unseen sophistication to the politics of her country. The people of Burma deserve a better future. I only hope they will have the patience that will be needed for change. LINDA SCHWARTZ Adliswil, Germany...
