All was not lost on that dark summer day when baseball stopped, because overnight the strike gave birth to a novel journalism. At a dozen imaginative newspapers across America, the editors sent computers onto the field and let them pretend to play a full slate of major-league games each day. They overcame dull reality with a new, fantastic kind of news: fiction. Well, Virginia, almost new.

The verdict is already in on week one of the alleged trial of the century: It was a bomb. Jury selection, untelevised and unremarkable, yielded no news, and desperate tabloid investigations into the private life and new hairdo of the prosecutor, Marcia Clark, failed to find a pulse. So the media circus (that is, reporters reporting on reporters) became the story, a video hall of mirrors leading nowhere.

Ronald L. Goldman was stabbed more than 20 times, and Nicole Brown Simpson had one wound that was five and a half inches deep. Ninety five million households watched the car chase live. There were 14 sites where blood was found on the Ford Bronco. Statistics swirl around the O.J. Simpson case like cameras around Mr. Simpson's lawyer, Robert L. Shapiro. Everthing about the case is big, including the jury selection process that began last week - 304 people were given a 75-page questionnaire to fill out. Judge Lance A. Ito and the attorneys will pore over the answers, looking for disqualifying biases.

Here are some ideas for columns that don't want to be written. Maybe you, reader, can force one or two to submit. 1. INSURANCE-ISSIMO -- When Washington types started talking about health care, didn't you think they were talking about health? I did. So why did they waste all that time wrangling over insurance?

Growing up in Oklahoma, Carl Glassman always dreamed of creating a small-town newspaper. "Then last March, it suddenly dawned on me that I'm living in a little town," he said, "and my dream became an obsession." His small town is TriBeCa, a chunk of lower Manhattan that in 1970 had a resident population of 370. Now a fashionable, family-oriented enclave of about 9,000, the Triangle Below Canal has its own schools, a little league, a gazebo for summer concerts, bookstores, dry cleaners, florists and real-estate offices.

A Federal appeals court ruled Friday that two newspapers could not sue the Rockland County District Attorney for First Amendment damages over an investigation into charges that they let an advertiser influence what articles they published. The ruling helped rekindle a long-simmering feud between the newspapers and the prosecutors. The charges against the newspaper were made by Linda Winikow, a former State Senator who was dismissed last year as a vice president of Orange and Rockland Utilities after pleading guilty to fraud and embezzlement charges.

With his tenure in the Senate coming to a close, David L. Boren, Democrat of Oklahoma, wanted to leave behind a legacy of a little reform. So, after holding 36 hearings in the last year, calling 240 witnesses and drawing on the wisdom of dozens of scholars, he created a bill to overhaul Congress itself. Among other things, it would have cut the Congressional staff by 12 percent, abolished half the subcommittees in the Senate and disallowed proxies if they determined the outcome of votes.
