Aaseng continues his useful series on decision making with incisive
coverage of eight famous criminal trials of the 20th century. Beginning
with the Lindbergh kidnapping case, he also covers the New
York Times libel case (the state of Alabamas attempt to
stifle accusations of racism), the Chicago Seven (antiwar conspiracy),
Patty Hearst as outlaw, Dan Whites Twinkie defense,
the Ford Motor Companys Pinto explosion, Subway Vigilante
Bernhard Goetz, and O. J. Simpsons acquittal of murder.
. . . A unique contribution.
