...Kunen quickly--and probably inadvertently--dispells the myth of public defenders as ethical gods. "Deception is not deceit," Kunen says, "Lawyers and magicians practice deception. Dishonest people practice deceit." With that said, Kunen brazenly describes a client's parole status at a sentencing hearing. All of which proves Kunen doesn't need a top partnership to be a sleaze.

...President never shared the view that the missile crisis should be "used" to pick a fight to the finish with Castro; he correctly insisted that the real issue in the crisis was with the Soviet government, and that the one vital bone of contention was the secret and deceit-covered movement of Soviet missiles into Cuba. He recognized that an invasion by U.S. forces would be bitter and bloody, and that it would leave festering wounds in the body politic of the Western Hemisphere. The no-invasion assurance was not a concession, but a statement of our own clear preference...
