THE LAST PLACE OJ SIMPSON WANTS TO BE IS IN A COURTROOM


O.J. Simpson won't take legal action against a Louisville restaurateur who booted him from a steakhouse on the eve of the Kentucky Derby after all, Simpson's attorney said this weekend.

Simpson and about a dozen guests were asked to leave Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse on May 4 by owner Jeff Ruby, who has said he asked Simpson to leave because "he continues to torment the family whose lives he's already ruined 15 years ago."

Last week, Yale Galanter had said his client's ejection was about race, and that he might go after the restaurant's liquor license. "He screwed with the wrong guy, he really did," Galanter had said of Ruby.

Galanter seems to be singing a new tune, NOW claiming Ruby is using the episode for publicity. "If we had our druthers, this would have died that night and been over,"
