<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman">O The <B>three video rape defendants that I've
been harping about</B><BR>in Orange County, Calif., are back home now, on a hung
jury. <BR>Clearly, some of the 12 wise people believe that a 16-yr-old
girl,<BR>feeling foolish or frisky at the outset of an evening, is fair game
for<BR>nearly anything. Most astonishingly, it used to be that all of us
in a<BR>he-said/she-said dispute could wish simply that, oh if there
were<BR>just videotape of the incident, it would prove me right. Well,
here<BR>there was just that. All 24 counts against the 3 kids of
privilege<BR>were right there on tape. "Are you gonna believe me, or your
own<BR>eyes," asked Groucho. He lived too soon; with the proper
lawyers<BR>and medical interpreters, one's own eyes are quite inadequate
these<BR>days. </FONT><A
