We actually read “Inherit the Wind” in 10th grade English. We also had to read “The Crucible,” also allegedly an allegory for McCarthyism. Your articles are great, do a lot to dispel the notion that these people were good-hearted crusaders for justice.
Excellent, thanks. Hoping to send you some new subscribers, and I'll mention your Clarence Darrow series in particular, so could you make a correction? Paragraphs 12 and 13: three appearances of "Harrison" instead of "Harriman" (thereafter, you revert to "Harriman"). There's a long list of players in the story, so readers might think they've forgotten someone by the name of "Harrison".
Mr Grove, have you seen the 1989 film True Believer? Main character Eddie Dodd, played by James Woods, is based on Earl Rogers and Clarence Darrow I'd assume.
Finally get to read this article after substack took 3 weeks to tell me I somehow made a typo in the e-mail I signed up with. The Anti-Based bias at substack needs to end!!!!!

Growing up, I always believed in the Clarence Darrow myth. I wonder how many other false beliefs I still carry with me.
