"Albom argues that the O.J. Simpson trial was the most important event in the past two decades."
I would agree with Albom that it was a significant event for many reasons. A lot of things changed in society because of the trial. However i disagree with Albom's word choice. I would have used the word popularity, not important. People of America were interested in the case because of who O.J. was prier to the case. It was people's out most curiosity that made the case a bigger deal than it actually was. The more the trial would be televised and discussed on talk shows, the more interested the public grew. The case really wasn't important to anyone but O.J. and the family of Nicole. It was it's popularity that won over the general public to create such a significant impact on society.
