...SOUTH SIDE OF CHICAGO, Helen Miller struck another unlikely blow for organized labor last summer. Miller, a member of the service-employees union who spends seven hours a day tending to a tube-fed stroke victim, fought for and won a change in Illinois law that raised the hourly wages for state-paid, home-health-care aides from $3.35 to $5. As the head of volunteer action for the union local, Miller was the first nurse's aide to testify on behalf of the bill. Now she spends her free time organizing home-health-care workers to demand medical benefits...
...VERY DISAPPOINTED BY THE REmarks of Los Angeles writer and social commentator Karen Grigsby Bates in the TIME forum of opinions on the "trial of the century." She said Fred Goldman, the father of murder victim Ron Goldman, "brought the Holocaust" into the trial. Goldman was reacting with justifiable outrage to Johnnie Cochran's likening Mark Fuhrman to Hitler.

Simpson faces two lawsuits stemming from the double murder, one filed by the parents of murder victim Ron Goldman, Fred Goldman and Sharon Rufo (the two are divorced but have now joined their suits); and another on behalf of Nicole Brown's estate (Louis Brown, father of the slain Nicole, is the estate's executor). Depositions in the Goldman suit were to have started this week but were postponed until Oct. 30 after Simpson hired...
First, during the trial, O.J. emerged before many as a victim rather than the proven wife-beater he was and is. Admittedly, he was on trial for killing Nicole Brown Simpson and not for beating her, but we worry that his acquittal will help bury the disturbing issue of domestic violence. As one Harvard student remarked in his euphoria over the acquittal, "My first-born will be named O.J." That's not a legacy we want to see carried...
