This is simply too much information about the response from/ramifications within too many corners of intellectual, political, and journalistic societies. Imagine the slight tinge of nausea induced by looking at your Grandmother’s plate at Old Country Buffet.

Oh, enough with the Frenchmen already…I’d rather listen to Greeks who claim they invented everything and thus, there’s nothing left for them to do except drive erratically.
Anyway, I will say that for those of you who seek a nice primer on every individual response elicited by the case – from Massachusetts to Norway, from 1921 to whenever Dukakis posthumously pardoned them or whatever, then this is your book.
