In part 2 of dad's biography, he discusses his law school years and being a prosecutor straight out of law school. There are a lot of stories of dad getting laughed at in this one- he got laughed at when people heard he had applied to Harvard, he got laughed at while at Harvard when people found out that his pedigree was working class St. Louis, he got rejected at his first job application with the Federal Defenders office, and he got laughed at by the entire jury at one of his earliest trials. He learned a lot through all this.
