Most players are getting a rental car for the week at Super Bowl XXIX. Maybe a Ford or a Chevy. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but San Francisco 49ers cornerback Deion Sanders isn't going to be coasting around the beaches in a Taurus. Uh-uh. He bought himself a Lamborghini. Just for the Super Bowl. "The Lamborghini," he said, "was a gift from me to me."

A trail of blood leading from the site of his former wife's death to his own bedroom and even to a pair of socks found at the foot of his bed proves that O. J. Simpson is a murderer, prosecutors in the case charged today. While most of that blood demonstrably was Mr. Simpson's, they said, it was mixed with the blood of his two victims, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald L. Goldman. As the long-delayed and long-awaited opening statements began, prosecutors labored to convince 12 jurors that Mr. Simpson is not just the good natured, jovial fellow known to most American households but also a jealous, possessive man whose abusiveness reached a peak last spring when Mrs. Simpson finally resolved to leave him once and for all.

White woman versus black man. Black man versus black man. The images are stark, as if the producer of "The Saga of O. J.," which finally had its grand opening on all major networks this week after months of promos, previews and pilots, had chosen his major players to project the show's most highly charged elements. In the courtroom, the lawyers are the stars and the opening days have featured Marcia Clark, the tightly strung lead prosecutor, for whom a smile seems an effort; the down-to-earth Christopher Darden, also speaking for the people, and Johnnie L. Cochran, the expansive, assured lawyer who has lately taken over at the command center of the crowded defense table. They kept you watching.

The Host Marriott Corporation won a battle with bondholders yesterday as a Federal judge denied investors a new trial for their securities-law claims against the country's biggest hotel company. While investors said they planned to appeal, the ruling by Federal District Judge Alexander Harvey 2d may end a three-year fight. The investors, led by PPM America Inc., accused Marriott of committing securities fraud by selling bonds in 1992 and failing to warn them of plans to split into two concerns. The company was divided into Marriott International Inc., a fast-growing hotel-management company, and Host Marriott, a debt-laden real estate concern. Marriott's bonds fell as much as 30 percent after the plan was announced, causing bondholders to sue. The fight ended in a mistrial in October after jurors told the judge that they were "hopelessly deadlocked."

The Monsanto Company said yesterday that it would lay off 200 white-collar employees by the end of March and more in the next two years, as it continues to cut costs to improve profit margins. Shares of Monsanto rose $1.375, to $74, on the New York Stock Exchange yesterday. The layoffs represent less than 1 percent of Monsanto's work force. Monsanto has reduced its staff by 30 percent since 1991, to 30,000 from 39,000. The company, based in St. Louis, has not determined the number of layoffs to come, a spokeswoman for Monsanto, Scarlett Lee Foster, said. But on Monday the company, which has interests in chemical, agricultural and pharmaceutical businesses, took a fourth-quarter charge of $55 million, or 47 cents a share, to cover the reductions in the work force.

The shareholders of the Petrie Stores Corporation approved a plan yesterday for the company's liquidation and a three-step transaction under which they will receive the company's shares in Toys "R" Us Inc.

Petrie, based in Secaucus, N.J., will give Toys "R" Us those shares and $165 million, and Toys "R" Us will give Petrie's shareholders 42.1 million Toys "R" Us shares.
