Dave takes a look back at the year that was If I had to pick two words to summarize 1995, those words would be "reasonable doubt." What I mean is, any reasonable person has to have serious doubts about whether this year should have been allowed to occur. A big reason, of course, is that this was the year when we had to endure The Trial That Lasted At Least A Century. Don't get me wrong: I'm not complaining about the verdict.
If a jury of 12 citizens, after thoroughly considering all of the evidence for approximately 20 minutes, honestly came to the conclusion that O.J. Simpson had not been proven guilty of committing the crimes in question, then far be it from me to point out that they have the collective intelligence of beef jerky. We operate under a jury system in this country, and as much as we complain about it, we have to admit that we know of no better system, except possibly flipping a coin. No, it was not the verdict that was the problem with this case. The problem was and here I must search for precisely the right word to describe a very complexing, and subtle flaw in our current legal system lawyers.
There were way too many of them. There were at least six of Barry Scheck alone. The sheer mass of lawyers overwhelmed poor pathetic Lance Ito, who, during the course of the trial, was buffeted by a relentless gale of lawyer-generated wind that gradually started eroding him, so that he became smaller and smaller as the months wore on, until finally he was just this nervous little fringebearded face poking up over the top of his desk, praying for this awful ordeal to end before he completely lost his mind and started shouting objections at himself via a Cookie Monster puppet. And of course the courtroom lawyers were just the beginning. There were also the TV lawyers, who courageously overcoming the handicap of having no real idea whatsoever what the jury was actually thinking provided us with endless hours of detailed expert commentary on every facet of the trial Tom, if you look at this slow-motion replay of Marcia Clark asking the question about the age of the Simpson dog, you'll notice that she is gesturing with her left hand, which is a change from yesterday when she used her right hand, which could be an attempt to sway juror No.
7, who is probably left-handed, judging from the way she picks her nose. But by the same token Clark's Rose Greenwood Tara Elizabeth Rose of Bolton and Joel Dwaine Greenwood of Pearl were married Nov. 2, 1995, in Gatlinburg, Tenn. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

MISS MANNERS By Judith Martin United Features Syndicate Alerting social circle that you're a couple I have a steady gentleman friend who is not often included in social invitations which I receive. Should I continue to go alone, or "worm out" an invitation from the hostess who may not be aware of the situation? Miss Manners is sorry, but you are going to have to rephrase the question if you want a favorable answer. You need a new verb. She can't possibly agree to let anyone worm something out of a hostess.
The very idea. Now, if you were to share with your dear friends the happy news that you are now part of a couple and that you dearly hope for the opportunity to allow the gentleman the honor of meeting them, it would be another matter. If you do this when you happen to have received an invitation, it might occur to your hostess to invite him as well. Miss Manners would prefer that you toss a party at which to introduce him to your circle. That way, you alert everyone who entertains you at once, without the slightest possibility of its being interpreted as worm-like.
Not only would it let Miss Manners off the hook, so to speak, but it would give her the satisfaction of knowing that you reciprocate your invitations.

Vernon Vernon DAVE BARRY Knight-Ridder News Service gesture could actually offend some of the right-handed jurors, with the exception of jurors 2, 5, 8, 9 and 11, who appear to be asleep, which could indicate that they are responding positively to a series of strategic yawns emitted by defense attorney Johnnie Cochran, although on the other hand Mr. Cochran may have hurt his side with a post-lunch belch that was clearly In summary, the lawyers came off as a group of pompous, overbearing, condescending, self-promotobnoxious, unprincipled, slimy, misleading and at times flagrantly lying scumballs. But of course that is their job.
We here in the media, on the other hand, have no such excuse. We were just plain despicable. Oh, we put on our frowniest faces and acted sad, and every three weeks or so we reminded everybody, in somber tones, that this was NOT entertainment; this was a terrible, terrible tragedy with real human victims, Nicole and whatshisname. But the stone truth is that we were thrilled to have this great big, plump, juicy Thanksgiving turkey of a story, providing us with endless leftovers that we could whip up into new recipes to serve again and again, day after day, night after night on Inside Hard Edition an exclusive interview with the woman who took O.J.'s dental Of course you, the public, snorked these tasty tabloid dishes right down and looked around for more. Not that you would admit this.
No, you all spent most of 1995 whining to everybody within earshot about how sick and tired you were of the O.J. coverage. Sure! I believe that! I believe that you paid no attention to the O.J. trial. I believe that you spent your time reading the works of Marcel Proust.
I also believe that Kato Kaelin is the next Robert De Niro. Come on, let's be honest: Nobody came out of that trial looking good. And I'll tell you who else had a bad 1995: The international banking industry. I am thinking here of two stories that should strike a chord in the soul of any bank customer who has ever been treated like a serial killer for trying to cash an out-ofstate check: 1. In February, the British investment bank Barings PLC collapsed because a 28-year-old trader named Nick Leeson lost $1 billion that's with a followed by an "illion," in futures trading.
2. In October, an employee of the New York office of Japan's Daiwa bank, Toshihide Iguchi, admitted that he doctored bank records to hide the fact that he had lost $1.1 billion. Do you know what I think about when I read these stories? I think about my ATM machine. My ATM machine is hooked up, electronically, with my bank, which in turn is hooked up electronically with all the other banks and financial institutions all over the world. So when I am using my ATM machine, I am interfacing with the global international financial network.
And do you know what my ATM machine is always telling me? It's always telling me: YOU CANNOT WITHDRAW THAT AMOUNT. It tells me this even when it knows I have enough of my own personal money in the bank to cover the withdrawal. This makes me crazy. "WHY CAN'T I HAVE MY MONEY?" is what I want to scream. "DO YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THERE'S PLENTY ON HAND IN CASE SOME 28-YEAR-OLD TWIT NEEDS TO LOSE IT?" But I don't scream at the ATM, because if I did, people would have reasonable doubt about my sanity.
Anyway, as 1995 draws to a close, we need to remember that it was not a total waste of a year. There were some positive developments. For example let's hmmm. OK, I thought of one: Roseanne and Tom Arnold did not get back together. And I'm sure there were many other happy developments, including some, I hope, that involved you.
And so as 1995 staggers off into history, let's just be grateful that we got through it. And let's also hope that 1996 will be a whole lot better. Although we have every reason to doubt it.
