"When you start a chapter of this book, you think it is going to be boring. Within a page or two, however, you become riveted to the narration and you cannot stop! GE price fixing in the 1950s, or Piggly Wiggly stock market corners in the 1920s, it is a very good book. I am learning a lot." — Aug 28, 2015 09:52PM

“If I'm an advocate for anything, it's to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. The extent to which you can walk in someone else's shoes or at least eat their food, it's a plus for everybody.

“I do not say that all lawyers are bad, but I do maintain that the general tendency is bad: standing up in a court for whichever side has paid you, affecting warmth and conviction, and doing everything you can to win the case, whatever your private opinion may be, will soon dull any fine sense of honour. The mercenary soldier is not a valued creature, but at least he risks his life, whereas these men merely risk their next fee.”
