I think I enjoyed this book more than Irving Stone’s Clarence Darrow for the Defence - recognising that them is fightin’ words for some. The psyche of the general population, as portrayed in this book, in romanticising characters like Loeb and Leopold alongside the pervasive and sadistic racism, the holy grail of capitalism and rabid religious fundamentalism is incredibly disturbing. For all his warts, thank god for Clarence Darrow for his consistent efforts at consciousness raising.
