Looks like librarians have been spared having to wrestle with their conscience about buying O.J. Simpson’s forthcoming theoretical tell-all, If I Did It.  News Corps announced today that it was cancelling the book and television special. Chairman Rupert Murdoch was quoted as saying, “I and senior management agree with the American public that this was an ill-considered project. We are sorry for any pain this has caused the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson.” Ill-considered?  Really? What were Murdoch and the rest of the people involved in this project thinking? Did they really believe that no one would object? Have we become so morally debased that making money is more important than simple justice or basic human decency? As for O.J., to have written this book about the murder of his children’s mother, he has gone way beyond the pale.
