<span class="entry-content">CALL THEM THE O.J. ALL-STAR TALK TEAM—THE CAcophony of cops and lawyers, Marcia Clark fashion critics and DNA experts who provide nonstop commentary on every sneeze. In the midst of this media madness, [[:Category:CNN|CNN]]'s [[:Category:Greta Van Susteren|Greta Van Susteren]], a 40-year-old [[:Category:Washington|Washington]] attorney and an adjunct law professor at [[:Category:Georgetown University|Georgetown University]], stays true to her own winning gimmick: she talks straight and lets the facts fall where they may.

Van Susteren will not, for example, use a word like "sequestration." Instead, she says, "I talk about cooping people up in hotels." And we are not, as she says, watching the [[:Category:Trial|Trial]] of the Century but "a run-of-the-mill murder case—with a defendant whose name we recognize." Her husband (and law partner), [[:Category:John Coale|John Coale]], 48, says that, "with Greta, what you see is what you get. [[:Category:People|People]] genuinely like her."

With CNN's ratings skyrocketing (an estimated 15 million viewers tune in daily to its trial coverage), Van Susteren's bosses certainly are pleased. "Greta is a wonderful teacher," says CNN senior vice president Gail Evans, who chose Van Susteren to do analysis for the [[:Category:1991|1991]] William Kennedy Smith rape trial. Evans compiled a list of top women lawyers, called Van Susteren and never called the rest. "I said, 'This is what we're looking for.' People may have a love-hate relationship with lawyers, but they want to understand the law themselves. Greta is candid. She isn't afraid to say what she thinks."</span>
