Basically a memoir...reviews a number of cases that the noted lawyer Louis Nizer was involved in over his long career...from libel cases to obscenity cases. Also notes all the famous people he rubbed shoulders with in his day...such as Fiorello LaGuardia, President Kennedy and his brother Bobby, Elizabeth Taylor, and the like. An interesting read.
