O. J. Simpson, que saltó a la fama en los campos de fútbol americano, hizo fortuna en el cine, publicidad y televisión con un personaje de típico estadounidense negro, y fue absuelto de los cargos de asesinato de su exesposa y un amigo en un juicio celebrado en 1995 en Los Ángeles que cautivó al país, murió el miércoles. Un jurado en el juicio por asesinato, que mostró un espejo agrietado de un Estados Unidos blanco y negro, absolvió a Simpson, pero el caso arruinó su mundo. Pagó poco de la deuda, se mudó a Florida y luchó por rehacer su vida, criar a sus hijos y mantenerse alejado de los problemas. En 2006, vendió el manuscrito de un libro, If I Did It, y una posible entrevista televisiva, en la que relataría “hipotéticamente” los asesinatos que siempre había negado haber cometido. Una protesta pública puso fin a ambos proyectos, pero la familia de Goldman obtuvo los derechos del libro, añadió material en el que imputaba la culpa a Simpson y lo publicó.

The authorities in Colombia have mobilized the national police and the military to look for the father of the soccer star Luis Díaz, a Colombian standout for the English club Liverpool whose parents were kidnapped in his hometown on Saturday. Given soccer’s popularity here, the incident captured the South American country’s attention, but it also stoked fears of increasing insecurity in a nation where such kidnappings were becoming less common until a surge in recent years. Mr. Díaz’s mother, Cilenis Marulanda, was rescued hours after she was abducted, President Gustavo Petro of Colombia said on Saturday night. The Colombian national police, the military and a unit that specializes in kidnapping dispatched officers, soldiers, cars and aircraft to find his father, Luis Manuel Díaz. The Colombian authorities on Sunday morning announced a reward of 200 million pesos (roughly $48,000) for any information that would help locate the elder Mr. Díaz.
