...hearing before Justice Reardon in Boston's Suffolk County Courthouse, Kennedy Attorney Edward Benno Hanify argued: "It is difficult to see in the inquest something other than a general inquisition into his reputation and conduct over and above that to which he has already pleaded guilty [leaving the scene of an accident]. I submit that the rights of which he has been deprived present grave constitutional questions...

Before long, he had scores of imitators around the country, and became a nightclub fixture-casually hunched over his guitar, a burning cigarette tucked behind one ear-singing his favorites, Hard-Time Blues, John Henry...
...struck upon a splendidly entertaining and relatively effortless way of replaying some of those military histories that have so proliferated in recent years, in this case a fine review of the Afghan Wars by British Barrister-Author Patrick Macrory called The Fierce Pawns. No satirist could have invented a scene as bizarre as Afghanistan in 1841, or one so suited to showing the military mind at its silliest...
