Clarence Darrow: Attorney for the Damned
“Rappelyea to Bailey, Aug. 7, 1925. “Now that the chuckling and giggling over the heckling of Bryan by Darrow has subsided, it is dawning upon the friends of evolution that science was rendered a wretched service by that exhibition,” wrote Walter Lippmann, in the New York World. “The truth is that when Mr. Darrow in his anxiety to humiliate and ridicule Mr. Bryan resorted to sneering and scoffing at the Bible he convinced millions … that the contest at Dayton was for or against the Christian religion.” New York World, July 28, 1925.2.
