Last week, in a speech at the Harvard Business School, Lamb offered an explanation of sorts: "The importance and influence of the legal profession in the United States and elsewhere is rap idly declining."

While a Chicago jury was convicting him for an "obscene" nightclub performance, Bruce was being arrested in Los Angeles, charged with possession of narcotics, and released on bail.
