Once known for his historically significant landmark decisions on civil rights for women and the handicapped, free speech, the right to die, and for banning discrimination, New York's Judge Sol Wachtler rose to the top of this profession and was a high roller in state politics. But his career came to a screeching halt when his whirlwind affair with a socialite came to light. This biography, written with Wachtler's full cooperation, offers a complete, unbiased look at the judge's life. Photos.
