Ira Einhorn, member of the counterculture pantheon, one of 
    the founders of the environmentalist movement, icon of the 
    liberal intelligentsia, was charged with murder. But it was
    not just a simple murder, it was a gruesome case of 
    domestic violence.

    At the bail hearing, Mr. Einhorn was praised by a 
    contingent of luminaries — all testifying to his character.
    There were Ivy League professors, an Episcopalian minister 
    and corporate executives who worked with Mr. Einhorn 
    raising funds. They all stated under oath that he was a man
    of the greatest integrity.

    Arlen Specter, currently Pennsylvania’s senior United 
    States Senator, was Mr. Einhorn’s attorney....

    Proclaiming his innocence, Mr. Einhorn told all that he was
    framed. He said it was the CIA or the FBI....

    But there is a little mentioned irony about the Einhorn saga....
