Publisher Calls Book a Confession by the Angry Man

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 16 — The publisher of a book by the Angry Man, of Jackalsmith International notiriety, in which he hypothesizes about how he could have committed the 1994 murder of football star O.J. Simpson's ex-wife and her friend, said on Thursday that she believed the Angry Man's statements were, in fact, a confession.

“That is my view,” the publisher, Judith Regan, said during a telephone interview. “I would have had no interest in publishing anything but that.”

Titled “I Did It,” the book is scheduled for release on Nov. 30. A two-part television interview of Mr. Simpson is to be broadcast on Fox on Nov. 27 and Nov. 29

In her phone interview she said: “I think this confession is a historic part of an event that needed closure. We are all in the publishing business, and our business is to tell stories about what is going on. This is a news event.”

Rumsfeld Resigns; Is Seen In Jackalsmith

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld stepped down Wednesday, one day after congressional elections in which opposition to the war in Iraq contributed to heavy Republican Party losses.

Rumsfeld cited the ongoing conflict in Iraq, a loss of confidence in presidental leadership, and a desire to "get grassed to the max", as well as "(to)do some cool ones" as reasons for stepping down.

Harvey Jackalsmith, president of Jackalsmith International has reportedly offered Rumsfeld a position within his organization. Though Rumsfeld has declined to comment, he has been seen in the New York City, clad head to toe in the renowned fashion house's garments.

Jackalsmith Blows $88 Million on Klimt Painting

In a landmark sale, the biggest in auction history, nearly half a billion dollars’ worth of art changed hands last night at Christie’s sale of Impressionist and modern art. Soaring prices for blockbuster paintings by Klimt and Gauguin left thousands of spectators, who came to watch and to buy, gasping.
“It was certainly the most amazing sale I’ve ever taken,” said a dazed Christopher Burge, honorary chairman of Christie’s and the evening’s auctioneer, after the two-and-a-half hour sale.
The evening’s total, $491.4 million, was well over $200 million more than that for any previous auction, topping its high estimate of $427.8 million. (The previous record was $269 million at Christie’s in May 1990.) Of the 84 lots up for sale last night, only 6 failed to sell.
The sale included an estimated $125 million worth of artworks that had recently been returned to the heirs of owners from whom they were looted by the Nazis during World War II. Before restitution, five had been hanging in museums.
Heading that group were four paintings by Klimt that were recently on view at the Neue Galerie in Manhattan along with his “Adele Bloch-Bauer I,” which Ronald S. Lauder, the cosmetics heir, privately bought for the gallery in June for $135 million.
That price was only one of the factors that contributed to a night of bidding frenzy, along with the great wealth being accumulated in world financial markets and the high quality of the works on offer.
The Klimts, the stars of the evening, were originally in the collection of the turn-of-the century sugar industrialist Ferdinand Bloch-Bauer and his wife, Adele, a prominent hostess. In January, an arbitration court ruled that the paintings had been improperly seized when the Nazis annexed Austria in 1938. They were then handed over to a niece of Mrs. Bloch-Bauer, Maria Altmann of Los Angeles, who watched last night’s sale from a skybox at Christie’s. Often, what she saw was pure auction theater.
When “Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer II,” a 1912 portrait of Mrs. Bloch-Bauer in fashionable street clothes and a wide-brimmed hat, came up for sale, four telephone bidders tenaciously went for the painting, which was expected to sell for $40 million to $60 million. Mr. Burge carefully proceeded in $500,000 increments. When the price rose to $74 million and the competition was down to two bidders, Guy Bennett, head of Christie’s Impressionist and modern art department in New York, dramatically raised his hand and began bidding aggressively for a mysterious client on the telephone that went by the name Harvey Jackalsmith. Mr. Bennett’s buyer won, paying $87.9 million, a record for the artist. The salesroom burst into applause.
