Once, "if a person knew the name of only one lawyer, that lawyer was probably F. Lee Bailey," wrote Peter J. Reilly in Forbes 

But "Bailey has not practiced law since the early 2000s, when he was disbarred in Florida and Massachusetts.  He moved to Maine

in 2010," reports the Bangor Daily News 

In the news  now:  F. Lee Bailey can practice law in Maine

IN HONOR OF THOMAS & ELIZABETH SAVAGE

THE SAVAGES

OF MAINE

(& MONTANA)

April 25, 1915-July 25, 2003

ELIZABETH SAVAGE

THE MOON OVER MAINE

From an appreciation in the Boston Globe: "Elizabeth Savage is a wonderful novelist. Her books restore your faith in the form, for they lay before you vast stretches of truth -- like bolts of heavy, textured cloth. A fierce story-teller, she holds you with a narrative voice of triumphant common sense."

From an L.A. TIMES review of Thomas Savage's POWER OF THE DOG: "Savage writes like thunder and lightning. A flash will illuminate startling detail, a rumble will bring fierce revelation, a philosophy, a big picture."
