It's all in good fun, really--although Halberstam's vision of America has an underlying serious tone, his tongue seems at times to be straining through his cheek--but for anyone who ever chafed against the outrageous plotlines ox countless mid-60's America-is-dying political novels...

It included, besides Judge Eidson, the wounded family friend, "Bubba" Gavrel, who at the first trial had fingered Davis as the gunman, and Judge Tom Cave, who had originally denied him bail and thus forced him to spend 15 months in jail...
