| Lawyer, born in New York City, USA. Admitted to the bar at the age of 21, he became assistant attorney for subversive activities and soon special assistant to the US attorney general. As chief counsel to McCarthy's Communist-hunting subcommittee (1953–4), he was an often celebrated, often denigrated national figure. From 1954 to 1986 he became a political power broker and much-sought legal talent with Saxe, Bacon & Bolan (and predecessor firms) in New York City. Known as a loyal advocate, he gave lavish annual parties for his famous, fashionable clients and friends at his estate in Greenwich, CN. Three times tried and acquitted on federal charges of conspiracy, bribery, and fraud, he was disbarred two months before his death. |
