...anchorman Tom Brokaw was one of the three most uncomfortable men in America last Tuesday night. Like his counterparts at ABC and CBS, he had to vamp on the air as two bizarrely incompatible events prepared to collide: President Clinton's State of the Union speech and a verdict in the O.J. Simpson civil trial. In Brokaw's earpiece, frantic conversations were taking place between NBC News executives in New York City and the producer on duty in Washington, with Brokaw chiming in whenever he got a few seconds off the air. "It was an American cultural meltdown," he says...

Until yesterday, in both the trials held in Kishinev, as well as in the trial held four years ago to prosecute Lemrick Nelson Jr., the defendants managed to escape justice.

Whether or not he does will first depend on Judge Hiroshi Fujisaki, who has 110 days to approve or reduce the amount of the award. Unlike Tuesday's unanimous verdict, the jury split 11 to 1 on whether the Goldmans and Browns should receive punitive damages and 10 to 2 on the amount to be paid. Jurors reached a decision after a day of examining financial reports. Simpson attorneys argued the former football great is $9 million...

...police had forced Nelson to confess to the crime under duress and had planted a bloody knife found in his pockets shortly following the murder. Price, who witnesses placed at the stabbing scene, was charged with having incited a black crowd "to get Jews." While Nelson reacted to the verdict with tears and Price with stony silence, Rosenbaum's brother Norman, an Australian native who had pushed for the case to be reopened, jubilantly proclaimed that the decision marks "a good day for justice" in America...
