O.J. Simpson always lived life on camera, first as a football star, then as a sportscaster, commercial pitchman and actor. But nothing could have prepared him, or his fans, for the role he would play in 1994. The first reports were surprising enough. Simpson was suspected in the brutal slashing murder of his ex-wife Nicole and her friend, Ronald Goldman. But it was his arrest that proved unforgettable. Instead of turning himself in as promised, Simpson had a friend drive him on a rambling jaunt along southern California ' s freeways. The police followed behind at a discreet distance, heeding a warning from Simpson ' s driver that Simpson had a gun. As a national television audience watched — virtually, all network programming was preempted — Simpson ' s white Bronco moved hypnotically along the fabled freeways. Police cars followed in formation, and crowds formed along overpasses. Finally the Bronco returned to Simpson ' s west Los Angeles house, where he surrendered after nightfall. So began what many have called the most famous murder case in American history. . % NOTE: All photographs and stories in the News section, except where otherwise marked, are courtesy of the Associated Press.

Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis: 1929-1994. Kennedy, publishing editor, connoisseur of art, Francophile, mother, widow of John F. Kennedy and Aristotle Onassis, and member by marriage of a most famous family, died of cancer in New York City, where she had been living for some years. Most of the pictures appearing in the press after Kennedy ' s death harked back to her sojourn as First Lady, when she was a model of fashion and elegance for the American people. As a child she experienced an unstable home life in the midst of plenty; as Jack Kennedy ' s wife, and then Aristotle Onassis ' , she had to put on a good front and plan her own life while struggling in the public eye through two unstable marriages. However, in later years, she seemed to find peace with herself through doing what she loved best — editing art and antique books, mothering and grandmothering — and enjoying the company of a kindred spirit, Maurice Tempelsman. — Jean M.
