you mentioned the leopold case. and in that case the argument that he made about the elimination of the death penalty , his exact words, your honor, society may that be in need of protection from these two despicable individuals forever. and it turns out that richard lowe who was a means of a gun died in a prison fight. it nathan leopold basically will his body to science. biological tests, subjected his body to biological tests and it pulled the point. the thing that is ironic about it. the judge, the man who was the judge in that trial did not accept clarence darrow's argument. he sentenced them to life imprisonment because he was convinced in his memoirs he was convinced it would be the more cruel thing, the more cruel punishment. so clarence darrow never knew that this judge did not accept his argument. he actually made a wonderful argument against the death penalty, but the judge did not accept it. anyway. >> it is a famous argument, and it is a classic darrow argument in that it does not start at a endo diseas

(tom kalin) and i think "swoon" wants to interrupt that and recognize that the audience is more complicated and diverse than it's been constituted by mainstream film using "new queer" cinema as a banner in which to market films has its pluses, obviously because films get more press, they get a movement. but on the other hand, i think it's a great disservice to a film like "swoon," which i think, certainly, transcends issues of sexuality a
