If blood was taken from Simpson's blood reference tubes and planted on a sock, as I believe it was, the fact that it contained Simpson's DNA doesn't prove very much.

 Alan Simpson's Windows XP Bible - UG Book Review
Comprehensive in its treatment of Microsoft's latest and greatest operating system for the masses, Alan Simpson's Windows XP Bible has an answer to most "How do I..." questions that are likely to arise in the minds of Windows XP users, particularly those who aren't too familiar with recent versions of Windows.
The author--the respected Alan Simpson, who's put out similarly comprehensive books before--must have incredible patience, because he manages to document almost every Windows procedure down to the last option and the final "OK" click.
Most people won't need this level of handholding--almost everyone has gained knowledge of the basic Windows conventions by now--and perhaps this book could have been more compact (as it is, it's pretty hefty) or contained more obscure details without it.

COLLEGE STATION - Former U.S. Sen. Alan Simpson says that all immigration policy is based four things: emotion, fear, compassion or racism.
He pointed out that presidents are not good at dealing with immigration because of all the issues connected with it and because emotion, fear and racism tends to freeze people in place.
