Race, and our "fears" of the Other still are the driving/dividing force in society. I remember the darkened cover of Time; the outrage of the interracial marriage and murder; and the rise of the Orange Blimp coming because the country had the audacity to both hope and elect a Black man. I also saw OJ play almost every week on TV. He was a Star, and his story is indeed worthy of the Elizabethan world of tragedy.
