Most players are getting a rental car for the week at Super Bowl XXIX. Maybe a Ford or a Chevy. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but San Francisco 49ers cornerback Deion Sanders isn't going to be coasting around the beaches in a Taurus. Uh-uh. He bought himself a Lamborghini. Just for the Super Bowl. "The Lamborghini," he said, "was a gift from me to me."

A trail of blood leading from the site of his former wife's death to his own bedroom and even to a pair of socks found at the foot of his bed proves that O. J. Simpson is a murderer, prosecutors in the case charged today. While most of that blood demonstrably was Mr. Simpson's, they said, it was mixed with the blood of his two victims, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald L. Goldman. As the long-delayed and long-awaited opening statements began, prosecutors labored to convince 12 jurors that Mr. Simpson is not just the good natured, jovial fellow known to most American households but also a jealous, possessive man whose abusiveness reached a peak last spring when Mrs. Simpson finally resolved to leave him once and for all.

The Monsanto Company said yesterday that it would lay off 200 white-collar employees by the end of March and more in the next two years, as it continues to cut costs to improve profit margins. Shares of Monsanto rose $1.375, to $74, on the New York Stock Exchange yesterday. The layoffs represent less than 1 percent of Monsanto's work force. Monsanto has reduced its staff by 30 percent since 1991, to 30,000 from 39,000. The company, based in St. Louis, has not determined the number of layoffs to come, a spokeswoman for Monsanto, Scarlett Lee Foster, said. But on Monday the company, which has interests in chemical, agricultural and pharmaceutical businesses, took a fourth-quarter charge of $55 million, or 47 cents a share, to cover the reductions in the work force.

The shareholders of the Petrie Stores Corporation approved a plan yesterday for the company's liquidation and a three-step transaction under which they will receive the company's shares in Toys "R" Us Inc. Petrie, which operated 1,700 women's clothing stores, sold its retail operations to an investor group last month for $190 million. That left it with one main asset: its 39.9 million shares in Toys "R" Us, valued at about $1.21 billion, based on a closing price of $30.25 on the New York Stock Exchange yesterday. Petrie, based in Secaucus, N.J., will give Toys "R" Us those shares and $165 million, and Toys "R" Us will give Petrie's shareholders 42.1 million Toys "R" Us shares.

The Santa Fe Pacific Corporation has proposed buying 10 million of its own shares in its attempt to merge with Burlington Northern Inc. and thwart a hostile takeover by the Union Pacific Corporation of Bethlehem, Pa. A purchase of 10 million shares by Santa Fe Pacific would increase the exchange ratio of its merger agreement to 0.4347 share of Burlington Northern stock from 0.40 a share. That would increase the value of the merger to nearly $4 billion from $3.8 billion. The two railroads earlier agreed to merge in a transaction that called for Santa Fe Pacific to buy 20 percent of its shares for $760 million and Burlington Northern to acquire another 13 percent for $500 million. After antitrust clearance from the Government, Burlington Northern, based in Fort Worth, would exchange 40 percent of a share for each remaining share of Santa Fe Pacific, which is based in Schaumburg, Ill.
