Most of you have heard that OJ died of cancer yesterday.

I'm sure that many of you on the site are old enough to remember the hoopla that surrounded the crime he was falsely accused of, the slow speed Bronco chase, the resulting trial in which he was proven innocent and his 20 year search for the real killer.

I didn't pay too much attention to it, being fresh out of high school and much more interested in girls, dirt bikes and beer, but it was hard to avoid.

The coverage that was on every television channel, newspaper and especially supermarket tabloids, lasted 16 months. Every week there were new sensational headlines screaming about him and the trial.

I am curious as to whether there will be another event covered so in depth and universally in this day of fractured and specialized media.
