    It's very odd that a man who so adroitly went after people on the details of their personal lives kept his personal life such a secret. What if he had used his intelligence for good rather than a quest to leave other in a shamble on the floor. At the end of the day, it is a matter of perspective. A paradigm shift would have done him well. But we are left with a sad little boy getting back at the world by any means available.

    How generous of him!! See, he never got married or started a family, even though he could easily afford it, because _they_ would get caught up in his lawsuits! That _he_ couldn't bare inflicting this theoretical heartache that doesn't happen to any married lawyer. He's the first ever career-celibate lawyer. I can't believe this excuse worked! First off, he was gay. Second, what he's describing doesn't happen in his field. Third I'm confident that he didn't want a family because they could expose the skeletons in his apparently very spacious closet. We probably don't know more about him because of this. Could you imagine a Roy Cohn version of Mommie Dearest?
