Verdicts Out of Court

Verdicts Out of Court

Clarence Darrow

Ivan R Dee, Inc
1990
pokkari
This remarkable collection of the great attorney’s writings reveals why he was such a force in the court of law and in the court of public opinion. Darrow turned to writing—essays, debates, fiction—to influence a broader audience beyond the field of law. Through his observations on such social issues as race, revolution, labor, divorce, crime, war, and religion, and his estimates of men and women, he became the attorney for the public conscience. His beliefs, delivered with an urbane blending of wit, lawyer’s logic, satire, and sentiment, remain a part of our continuing social philosophy. They are amply illustrated in this superb collection, and remain strikingly pertinent today. “Fascinating.…Whether Darrow is condemning capital punishment, questioning immortality, or extolling free trade, he is usually incisive, never boring, and always unafraid of speaking his mind. A rare combination in his or any other age.”—William M. Kunstler, New York Times. “A fascinating collection of Darrow’s writings, showing the wide range and the impact of his thinking on the American character.”—Irving Stone.

On the East End: The Last Best Times of a Long Island Fishing Community

On the East End: The Last Best Times of a Long Island Fishing Community

Clarence Hickey

Harbor Electronic Publishing

In 1970, as a young marine biologist, Clarence Hickey won a position on the staff of the New York State Ocean Sciences Laboratory, Montauk, NY. For the next five years he was involved in landmark studies of Long Island's then-thriving fisheries. He developed deep bonds with the Baymen and ocean fishers who called the East End of Long Island home, and worked closely with them as he and the Ocean Sciences Lab studied the habits and prospects of more than one hundred species of fish and shellfish that call Long Island waters home. This is his loving, anguished memoir of those years, replete with vivid portraits of the traditional fishers and scientists he worked with, their habits and discoveries, and their history-suffused community. Like their brethren to the north and south on the East Coast, Long Island's Bonacker fishing community represents a long and colorful tradition celebrated most famously in Peter Mattheissen's classic Men's Lives. Hickey's memoir is an elegiac complement to that book.Perhaps more important, Hickey calls for our deep attention to the destruction

The Get Out Date: One Father's Guide to Raising a Son

The Get Out Date: One Father's Guide to Raising a Son

Clarence T. Brown

It has been said that children do not come to us with an instruction manual. While this may be true, I do believe that they come with instructions hardwired into their DNA. As parents, it is our responsibility to use the gift of parenting to monitor and perceive these instructions, and put our children in the right environments to mature them. And if we pay close attention, there will be subtle advice shared along the way. "I've long since retired and my son's moved away. I called him up just the other day. I said, I'd like to see you if you don't mind. He said, I'd love to, dad, if I could find the time. You see, my new job's a hassle, and the kids have the flu. But it's sure nice talking to you, dad . It's been sure nice talking to you. And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me . He'd grown up just like me. My boy was just like me" Sandy Chapin / Harry F. Chapin I had heard this song so many times, but it was not until I had a son that it held meaning for me. In raising my son, not only did I have to make sure that he became his own man, but I also realized that I needed to model the type of man and ultimately the type of father, I wanted him to become. This song served as a warning. "The Get Out Date" therefore was not as much about putting my son out, as it was preparing him to be successful once he left.
