...other night, a New York resident named Jean Vallely, who had just returned from California, told me that her windshield had been streaked up by a squeegee guy on San Vicente Boulevard in Brentwood, Calif.--the first confirmed squeegee-guy sighting I've heard of since this whole thing started. It raises the possibility that the squeegee guys, having heard of the O.J. case, are moving out to Brentwood on the theory that a jurisdiction that lets someone get away with murder couldn't be hard on people who wash windshields with filthy rags...
...responds to one of his first loves: horses. Perhaps taking heed of his own oft-quoted advice, "There's nothing better for the inside of a man than the outside of a horse," Reagan, 86, recently made a rare public appearance at a polo match between Santa Monica and Brentwood, played at Will Rogers State Historic Park in Pacific Palisades, Calif.

...just can't seem to find his Heisman Trophy. Or, for that matter, an Andy Warhol painting, not to mention $100,000 in personal loans and $72,000 from the sale of his two cars.

...great chagrin to Ovitz's former Creative Artists partner Ron Meyer, now president of Universal. Seems Meyer had unwarily confided in Ovitz that he absolutely coveted the property, only to learn two days later that Ovitz had snapped it up. In addition, Ovitz apparently isn't satisfied with his Brentwood residence, hard by the O.J. Simpson estate, which, presumably, is for sale. He's looking elsewhere, including at a place off Mulholland Drive...
