...edict banning that kind of profiteering (an order which was, in any case, legally unenforceable across the pond). And there are plenty of other distinctions between O.J.'s civil trial and Woodward's, not least of which is that the au pair was actually convicted the first time around -? albeit of manslaughter rather than murder. A jury may decide she's been through enough. She is also not required to appear in person. There is one similarity with the former football star's second ordeal; the media will be kept in check this time. "I see no basis...

He neglects to remind his readers that there is a third, albeit relatively unpublicized, possibility: Put your mind and skills to work in a field that will pay you reasonably, tap your creativity and expose you to worlds you haven't yet encountered. Some of these are for-profit, some could be called non-profit, but all have the potential to provide rewarding careers...
