Harry Shearer's Feb. 4 "O.J. by the Sea" Dispatch
       Die-hard Harry Shearer fans who have been following his "O.J. by the Sea" dispatches in SLATE will no doubt view condensing his copy as an act of cultural terrorism, akin to the Demi Moore version of The Scarlet Letter.

The raw meat of the Dennis Fung-Bob Baker confrontation, Petrocelli's key objections, and the most famous blood drops persevere.

Summary (10 Sentences)

"I know the truth," Baker snaps back.
