Dr Arthur Anzalone THE FIRST THING WE DO, LETS KILL ALL THE LAWYERS. Shakespeare's menacing message was handed down in 1591 (Henry VI, Part 2). About 200 years later, Thomas Jefferson came up with the notion that "it is the trade of lawyers to question everything, yield nothing, and to talk by the hour." There is even an Italian proverb on the subject... Love all men... but not Lawyers." As Americans, including Italian Americans, we often get our entertainment by poking fun at certain professions.. especially someone else's. Now we'll havejust as much fun with a lawyer as the hero of our story. Introducing Di, Arthur Anzalone. one of the good guys at our Italian American Civic Association.
