1069 Felix Frankfurter, by Liva Baker (read 26 Aug 1970) This is a very poor biography--such interesting material, but the author is, I felt, a hack. She is not a lawyer, and so, while the material was interesting, it was poorly handled--especially the Supreme Court years. The biography I read of Chief Justice Fuller was far better. Nevertheless, judicial biography is fascinating and I shall read more such.
