GUEST COLUMN
My Turn
by O.J. Simpson

Last week an outrageous article appeared in The New Yorker that portrayed me as an angry, obsessive womanizer with nothing on my mind but golf and poontang. Well, if the writer had listened more carefully, he would have known that my kids come first, then poontang, then maybe food, and then golf.

Also, I was misquoted in the article. It said that I said that if I saw Nicole today I'd probably “hit on her.” That's not what I said at all. I said that if I ever saw Nicole's killer today, “I'd hit him-or her.”

Thanks for letting me set the record straight.
 
CORRECTION
  In “Answers to Civics Quiz” we erroneously stated that the primary function of the federal government was c) “to protect and defend the tobacco industry.” The correct answer was d) “to protect and defend the rights and freedoms of the people.” We apologize for the confusion.
