This book was published in 1982, but I liked it, and I think most lawyers could learn a great deal from it. It covers details, like the ten most common punctuation errors in legal writing, as well as more general topics like audience, organization, and style. And it does all of that in a readable and persuasive text.

The authors' main point is that lawyers ought to write like human beings, not like mindless robots, and the book gives dozens of examples--both good and bad. The book was inspiring and a pleasure to read.

Overall, too much emphasis on Goldfarb, and not enough on Kennedy. The description of his work in Newport is somewhat dull. However, his thoughts at the end about the JFK assassination connection with organized crime are interesting.

Ron Goldfarb's "Perfect Villains, Imperfect Heroes" is an insightful analysis of the RFK led Attorney General office investigation of the mob. Part memoir and part history, you feel like you are part of the action when you read this interesting book.
