It was a crime that shocked the nation: the brutal murder in Chicago in 1924 of a child by two wealthy college students who killed solely for the thrill of the experience. Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb were intellectuals - too smart, they believed, for the police to catch them. When they were apprehended, state's attorney Robert Crowe was certain that no defense could save the ruthless killers from the gallows.

A different look into all involved
Revisado: 03-25-21
I found this book to be completely different from how
I suspected it would turn out. I like towel in explaining the attorneys and prosecutors they gave histories of the two and how they wound up prosecuting or descending the two accused. This case is 97 years old, and the judicial system has changed drastically since but you can still see a base of where everything started from and may find that very interesting on top of the details of the case. There are about a dozen other cases mentioned throughout that are used as examples.Without droning on for too long. I highly recommend this book.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 66
At middle age, Herb and Nancy Payson decided they needed a change. Why not give up life on shore, quit their jobs in the smoky nightclubs of Los Angeles, and take up the cruising life? In Sea Foam, their 36-foot ketch, the Paysons and their large brood of teenage children cruised the Pacific for six and a half years. They experienced a certain amount of stark terror, but their delights far outbalanced the drawbacks. This special 35th anniversary edition is enhanced with a foreword by Lin Pardey, plus Herb's reflections on how cruising affected his children and his relationship with his determined, lifelong partner/wife Nancy.

Wonderful tale of a family at Sea
Revisado: 01-14-20
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book as much as reading it. It follows a family in the 1970's and their adventure across the South Pacific. You'll be biting your nails at one moment and longing for open ocean and distant horizons the next.
