...This pair, coupled with a million bucks' worth of big-league legal muscle, managed to beat the rape rap, with the help of a prosecutor who made Perry Mason's most feeble opponent appear like Rudolph Giuliani...
...Students of the legendary gang of siblings left by Bootlegger Joe are more than familiar with the tragedies that have befallen them at the hands of such evil characters as Lee Harvey Oswald, Sirhan Sirhan, Jack Daniel, Johnny Walker, and Old Granddad...
...And what about the allegations that the prosecutor, Moira Lasch, was spotted in a Washington supermarket buying Duncan Hines cake mix several days prior to Robert McFarlane's infamous trip to the Middle East...
