Though the focus of his book is on Washington's Kingpin private lawyers. Goulden does not ignore the rising number of Washington Lawyers dedicated to the public interest. According to his interviews, most Superlawyers despise these unorthodox crusaders. For the new breed of consumer oriented lawyers thrives on exposing the secret deals Superlawyers earn thousands on. Ralph Nader and his confederates show little respect for those Washington Lawyers who bargain their way into positions of power and reap huge financial windfalls for their corporate clients. The new lawyers ask: what is the lawyer's responsibility to society, as opposed...
TEMPORALLY, THE EFFECTS OF THE COMBINE reach back as far as the Chief's childhood, when the white man cajoled his tribe off of their land, drove his father to drunken and death, and the half-breed boy towards stimulated deafness and dumbness, because "so one ever listened."

With its passing, the largest privately owned city system is Rapid Transit Lines, Inc., whose 400 buses serve central Houston...
...attempting to justify himself before his God and his "needle-crucified" son, Raoul, who functions as a sort of Christ figure. Raoul's disappearance has forced his father to reassess his own life in terms of his childhood religion (the Protestantism of the Berne fathers) and a strange breed of reverse-Darwinism. Perversely apprenticed to the "monkey-man," he has come to view young people as diseased mutations, prone to an universal sickness that is dragging mankind towards extinction...
