Springsteen ‘Born to Run’ manuscript is for sale
Associated Press Writer
NEW YORK — A handwritten working manuscript of Bruce Springsteen’s 1975 hit “Born to Run” will be offered at auction on Dec. 5, with a presale estimate of $70,000 to $100,000, Sotheby’s said Wednesday. The seller was not revealed. The auction house said the document used to be in the collection of Springsteen’s former manager, Mike Appel. Sotheby’s said most of the lines in this 1974 version, written in Long Branch, New Jersey, are apparently unpublished and unrecorded, but the manuscript does include “a nearly perfected chorus.” Springsteen’s thought process, written
in blue ink on a sheet of ruled notepaper, looks like this: “This town’ll rip the (out your) bones from yourback / it’s a suicide trap (rap) (it’s a trap to catchthe young) your dead unless / you get out (we gotto) while your young so (come on! / with) take myhand cause tramps / like us baby we were born to run.” “The imagery and tone are constant from the present manuscript to the final song,” the auctioneer said. There are also some words in the margins: “Wild” and “Angels” and a word that looks like “velocity,” with the letter “t’’ in Springsteen’s curlicue cursive. “Although Springsteen is known to have an intensive drafting process, few
LAS VEGAS — A judge denied O.J. Simpson’s bid for a new trial on an armed robbery and kidnapping conviction, ruling Wednesday that the evidence is overwhelming that the former football star “planned, organized and led” a group of armed men in a confrontation with two sports memorabilia dealers six years ago. Simpson had spent the last six months anxiously awaiting the ruling that he hoped would spring him from the medium-security prison where he has been jailed for five years. The football Hall of Famer based his appeal on claims of ineffective legal counsel. Simpson’s lawyers vowed Wednesday to keep appealing for his freedom. “He was disappointed and disheartened, as was his family,” lawyer Patricia Palm said of Simpson’s reaction to the news.
“But we’re definitely not giving up.” Simpson, 66, is serving nine to 33 years for his conviction on armed robbery, kidnapping and other charges. He was granted parole on some convictions in July, but still faces at least four more years in prison. Simpson was acquitted in 1995 in the stabbing deaths of his ex-wife and her friend after one of the most sensational trials in U.S. history Simpson’s next opportunity for freedom

will be in an appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court. His legal team planned to file a notice of appeal as early as next week with the state’s highest court. Palm said they’re also preparing a federal court claim that Simpson’s fair trial rights were violated. “He is looking forward to the appeal,” Palm said. “We’re confident that when we get to the right court we’ll get relief because he deserves relief.” The 101-page ruling by Clark County District Court Judge Linda Marie Bell comes after she held five days of hearings earlier this year on claims that Simpson’s former lawyer botched his 2008 trial and appeals to the Nevada Supreme Court. The hearings included testimony by Simpson. In her order released after business hours Tuesday, the judge ruled Simpson “failed to pinpoint significant errors that either alone or combined would have changed the outcome of his case. Additionally, Mr. Simpson has failed to demonstrate significant errors from his appeal.” The lawyer who handled Simpson’s trial and appeals, Yale Galanter, faulted Simpson’s current attorneys for questioning his work and said he felt vindicated. “In an effort to capture the spotlight, O.J.’s new legal team created a laundry list of falsehoods and attacked my reputation and integrity without contacting me to get the facts, review my files or review any of the documented evidence in the case,” Galanter said. Bell faulted Galanter for collecting excessive fees from Simpson and not hiring experts or investigators for his defense, and identified other mistakes. But the judge said none would have made a difference in the outcome.

Government worries Australian tourist arrivals to decline Bali Post
MANGUPURA - Travel advisory issued by Australian government for its citizens that would visit Indonesia had not had an impact on Australian tourist arrivals to Bali especially Badung County. Nevertheless, Badung County worried if the central government did not immediately take action to improve the bilateral relations. “If the relationship between Indonesia and Australia continues to deteriorate, it will certainly affect the Australian tourist arrival in Bali,” said Head of Badung Gov-
ernment Tourism Office, Cokorda Raka Darmawan, Wednesday (Nov 27). Based on the data in the Badung Government Tourism Office, the
Australian travelers gave considerable contribution to tourism in Bali. Each month, the average visit of Australian tourists to Bali reached the range of 60,000-70,000. Such amount was quite large when compared to foreign travelers from other countries. During the deterioration of relations between Indonesia and Australia to the issuance of travel advisory, the tourist arrival of Australian market in Bali was still relatively stable and did not
do change significantly. “But it still needs to be confirmed again because we have no data for November,” he said. Further, his party expected the central government to take strategic steps to resolve the issue with the Australian government. Otherwise, there would be a possibility for the issuance of a travel warning. He added the target of foreign tourist arrival in 2013 reached 3 million people coming to Bali,
especially Badung. Meanwhile, domestic traveler was targeted to double of foreign tourist arrival or reached 6 million people. To pursue the target, Badung County attempted to arrange the attraction and potential tourist destinations. Currently, there were 33 tourist attractions and the number would increase as the emergence of new attractions such as the Pandawa Beach, Bangkung River Bridge and other attractions managed by private sectors.
