Notably: Before Atticus Finch there was Clarence Darrow, the criminal defense lawyer every boy (back when girls were told they couldn’t be lawyers) wanted to grow up to be, assuming the boy wanted to be a lawyer, assuming the boy wasn’t growing up in a Republican household, assuming the boy’s parents didn’t consider the working class scum or cheer at every report of skull-cracking at labor strikes, assuming they weren’t fans of the death penalty. Today is Darrow’s birthday anniversary (1857 ). “Defender in a hundred or more murder trials,” his New York Times obituary would read 80 years later, “no client of his had ever died on the gallows or electric chair. He had built up a reputation for himself as a friend of labor and of the downtrodden. His oratory and his philosophy made him known to millions. A kindly, homely personage who dressed in the certainty that clothes do not make the man, he went through life declaring himself an agnostic. But three years ago he declared he no longer had any doubts. He proclaimed himself a materialist whom it had taken fifty years to find out that there is nothing after death.”
