...from relatives of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. "Yes!" screamed sister Kim Goldman, in contrast to the way she sobbed openly when Simpson was acquitted of murder 16 months ago. She and her mother and father clasped hands in jubilation, and in a press conference after the ruling, Fred Goldman commented, "Today marks two and a half years (since the killings) and we finally have justice. Our family is greatful for the verdict. Thank God." Outside the Santa Monica court house, a huge crowd, separated from the building by barricades and a police phalanx, erupted with cheers as word...
Their bill, which Clinton supported only sotto voce last year, died quietly on the Senate floor. But this year the bill's other co-sponsor, Tennessee's Fred Thompson, happens to be the man who will preside over the Senate hearings. So the President made sure he sided with his putative prosecutor last week.

The script, by Cleese and Iain Johnstone, lacks Wanda's mean and giddy inventiveness, and the directors, Robert Young and Fred Schepisi, don't wind their material very tightly. Still, this good-natured movie is very much in the spirit of those ancient comedies from Ealing Film Studios in which nice, silly people defend some enclave of old-fashioned sanity against the forces of brute modernism. And that's a tradition...
