Insurance men grudgingly admire Shernoffs courtroom mastery. Says one: "He can get a jury really worked up." Yet Shernoff, who grew up in Wisconsin farm country, has none of the slickness of the stereotypical, California personal-injury lawyer. Says he: "My English isn't the greatest, but I know what I'm doing: the little guy against the insurance giant...
...thirds of our cattle and nearly all poultry, hogs and veal calves are raised on feed laced with the drugs. Animals consume almost 8 million Ibs. a year, nearly 40% of U.S. production. The antibiotics not only keep them healthy in their crowded pens but, for reasons not yet clear, also speed up growth on less feed.

If he were at the end of his career today, he would be writing his memoirs in Malibu and growing rich off Polaroid commercials. In Sartre's play, however, he is dodging creditors, juggling mistresses and in his spare moments asking himself that old existential question: Who am I? Sartre's answer, given with stylish wit, is that Kean is like all of life...
