Wanted: New Devil's Advocate
It's only yesterday that I learned the demise on August 15 of Jacques Verges, lawyer extraordinaire. He was one of the most articulate person I've seen and had a lot of fun reading his book "Omar M'a Tuer". A fascinating documentary was also made about his unusual life journey. Me Verges died in Voltaire's bedroom. He was 88. Or maybe 89. Here he is, putting some things into perspective.
