Yeah, a black person does always have the option to play the race card. Of course, they have to have someone to play it against...OJ was lucky enough to have Fuhrman. You'll also notice that the race card is being played against the University of Michigan for their admittance policies...it's a white girl suing because of affirmative action nonsense.
Also, Martha Stewart is wildly famous. Even if you don't like her, you know exactly who she is and what she does. It was huge news when she did the IPO for her company, and it's huge news that she's being indicted for insider trading. That's why she's "on the front page".
