Offices didn’t have live TV in those days. I worked at an advertising agency called Waring & LaRosa and we’d all been watching the OJ trial like a sitcom whose characters we knew almost as well as Ross and Rachel. We laughed about Kato Kaelin, said unkind things about Marcia Clark’s hairdo, and made Judge Ito jokes. The supporting characters almost overshadowed the star of the show - the villain who’d charmed us since we were kids. The Juice had been loose for as long as I could remember, but now, whether he’d stay that way was very much a question.
As always happens when I read your newsletters, I was riveted by your story. I wish I coulda met Lou. I wonder in amazement at your recall of detail. (I do remember calling a DC news station to complain that they were showing a white Bronco on the highway when they should have been showing a Houston basketball championship.) And, I truly appreciate your realization that not everyone saw the outcome of the trial in the same way.
