IN SIMPSON STORY, OUR FASCINATION NEVER FADES
A conference room at the Lovelock Correctional Center is the new Ford Bronco.
Some 20 years later, even after he’s spent the last nine years locked away and out of the public eye, O.J. Simpson mesmerizes the country like no one else. It doesn’t matter that we’ve seen every episode of this soap opera and knew exactly how it was going to end.
(When one of the four mem- bers of the Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners — you know, the folks who held Simpson’s fate in their hands — showed up in a Kansas City Chiefs tie Thursday, it was a pretty good sign things were going to go Simpson’s way. They did, and he’ll be released as early as Oct. 1. He’s your problem now, Florida!)
When it’s O.J., we simply can’t look away.
