"A masterful and sensitive analysis of the events of the summer of
1969 [that] will almost certainly be the final, authoritative word
on the scandal and investigation that brought down two respected
state supreme court justices and led John Paul Stevens to a seat on
the nation's high court."-- "Journal of Illinois History"
"An extraordinary, clear-headed and powerful book."-- "Baltimore
Sun"
"If you enjoy reading about how law is practiced--by the very best
when the stakes are high and the shot clock is about to run--this
book has it."-- "American Lawyer"
"What could have been a depressing tale of tawdry wheeling and
dealing among Chicago's lawyers and judges is, in truth, an
inspiring tale of how lawyers can make things right by upholding
the highest standards of the profession."-- "California Lawyer"
