A year ago, The Detroit Free Press editorialized in favor of a Federal law banning the use of replacement workers during strikes.

Judge Wood Stays Calm (and Silent) Under Media's Glare
Date: 11 August 1995
When Judge Kimba M. Wood of Federal District Court in Manhattan left for a vacation in Italy three weeks ago, she was best known as the distinguished judge who sent the financier Michael R. Milken to prison and was once President Clinton's candidate for Attorney General of the United States. Yesterday, as the judge returned to the bench, her fame had taken on another dimension: as the third party in a sensational divorce case that has dominated the tabloids and television news. The judge seemed all business yesterday, but there were distractions. In the morning, marshals had to restrain a photographer who lunged at her maroon car as she pulled into the judges' garage. Later, she smiled easily as she walked into her courtroom at 500 Pearl Street in lower Manhattan, where several reporters awaited her, pens in hand, ready to record any sign of her personal life.

Ruling on Blood Is a Setback for Simpson
Date: 10 August 1995
By David Margolick
David Margolick
Denting the defense's theory of a police conspiracy, Judge Lance A. Ito ruled today that lawyers for O. J. Simpson had failed to prove that a disclosure in the press about blood evidence was material to the case. He said the defense could neither see a police report about the disclosure nor ask two news reporters about it. The decision, made in an abbreviated court session, means that lawyers for Mr. Simpson, who is accused of murdering his former wife and her friend, will not gain access to an internal police investigation of the disclosure, which the defense maintains would help establish that the police set up Mr. Simpson by planting blood on a sock found in his bedroom.
