The jury now has the case in O.J. Simpson's civil trial.
The jurors began two hours of deliberations before adjourning for the
night--
They got the case after a highly emotional rebuttal argument-- and about
40 minutes of instructions from the judge.
Jurors must decide whether Simpson was responsible for the deaths of
Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman-- and if so, what financial penalty he
must pay.
Deliberations are scheduled to resume tomorrow morning.

((
The talk in Washington is over money.
Where it's being spent, who's spending it, how it's being
raised...and where most of it will go duringthe next fiscal year.
A hint of the president's budget priorities came from the first few
words, of Mr. Clinton's first press conference since the innauguration.
Key word: education.
THESE PROPOSALS WILL MOVE US MUCH CLOSER TO OUR COMMON NATIONAL GOAL. AN
AMERICAN WHERE EVERY EIGHT YEAR OLD CAN READ, WHERE EVERY 12 YEAR OLD CAN LOG
ONTO THE INTERNET.
As part of a budget proposal set for release next week, the President hopes
to increase spending for education by nearly three billion
dollars....with an emphasis on technology in the classrooms.
But just as quickly as the president brought education up...he put it
aside, to address the growing skepticism about campaign fundraising
tactics.
EVERY ONE OF US WHO HAS PARTICIPATED IN THIS SYSTEM EVEN IF WE DID IT BECAUSE
WE THOUGHT WE HAD TO DO IT TO SURVIVE
OR TO JUST KEEP UP HAS TO TAKE SOME RESPONSIBLITY FOR ITS EXCESSES AND I TAKE
MINE.
Criticism has come from all sides over millions of dollars worth
of campaign funds raised for his re-election bid.
And there are even more questions raised over coffees at the
White House, one in particular, attended by the president, members of the
banking industry, and perhaps, improperly, the nation's top banking regulator.
It's a trouble spot that dogged the president during the last few weeks of
his campaign....and that dog hasn't gone away.
I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH RAISING MONEY FOR THE POLITICAL
PROCESS. THE PROBLEM IS, IT IS THE VOLUME OF MONEY, THE AMOUNT OF MONEY, THE
TIME IT TAKES TO RAISE, THE INEVETIBLE QUESTIONS THAT ARE RAISED.
standup
There were questions about a balanced budget amendment...of
welfare reform proposals, bi-partisan cooperation, and the health of russian
President Boris Yeltsin....a high volum of questions...a low output of new
information.
