SCANDALS MOUNT FOR O.J. SIMPSON

Facing trial for a double murder, O.J. Simpson's reputation was further tarnished today by reports that he used cocaine while a star on the Buffalo Bills football team in the '70s. Simpson was allegedly the focus of two drug investigations, law-enforcement sources told the Buffalo News. The new details come less than 24 hours after the release of a chilling audiotape of Nicole Brown Simpson's 1993 call for help. The recording of the 911 call includes O.J. Simpson shouting angrily in the background. Nicole was fighting tears as she told a 911 operator that Simpson had broken into the house. She was advised by the operator to stay on the line, but Nicole fell silent as Simpson continued to rage. Garbled expletives could be heard. L.A. district attorney Gil Garcetti, who criticized the release of the tapes, says he will meet no more media requests for information. He claims the official blackout will help ensure a fair trial.
