I was probably not yet a teenager and living in Cleveland when d.a. levy was being arrested, more than once if memeory serves. In the news he was synonomous with 'crackpot degenerate artist'. I'd be curious if there was anyone in the media sticking up for him at that time. (Doubtful.)

the mainstream press of the day was conservative & vilified levy. however he got support from Dick Feagler. this is surprising because the Plain Dealer writer began as a Republican. Feagler had a long career as a columnist & ended up with some rather progressive views.
