First came the explosive charge. The defense team in the O.J. Simpson murder case, it was leaked, was planning to accuse one of the police investigators, Mark Fuhrman, of being a "racist" cop who may have planted the bloody glove found in the area behind Simpson's guest house the day after the brutal slayings of Nicole Simpson and Ronald Goldman. Then came the disclaimer. "Race is not and will not be an issue in this defense," said Robert Shapiro, Simpson's lead attorney. "The only thing we are looking at is credibility of witnesses...
...coverage appalls many blacks. "It's suspect when all networks on television turn into Court TV," says the Rev. Al Sharpton, a New York political activist. The proliferation of black talking heads called upon to comment on racial aspects of the case is even seen by some as racist.

Last Monday evening, a 17-year-old female student at a Tokyo high school run by Chongryun, a North Korean residents' association, was riding home when a young man tried to push her off her bicycle. The assailant then slashed her school uniform with a pair of scissors. That assault was one of more than 120 verbal or physical attacks reported in Japan by Chongryun since April. Though...
