The accused was a slight, frightened man who hadn't deliberately broken the law. His trial was a Romann circus. The chief gladiators were two great legal giants of the century. Like two bull elephants locked in mortal combat, they bellowed and roared imprecations and abuse. The spectators sat uneasily in the sweltering heat with murder in their hearts, barely able to restrain themselves. At stake was the freedom of every American. One of the most moving and meaningful plays of our generation. "A tidal wave of a drama." --New York World-Telegram And Sun
