Simpson case LAPD detectives Tom Lange and Philip Vannatter will be interviewed Thursday on CNN’S “Larry King Live,” where they will take calls from viewers worldwide. . . . An anonymous art lover has given Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum, which houses priceless paintings by Rembrandt, Vermeer and other Dutch masters, a donation of $4.3 million. The gift, the museum’s biggest ever from a single individual, carries just one stipulation--that it be used solely to buy works of art.
