Scopes Monkey Trial
The Scopes Trial became a rhetorical battle between two of the world’s great public speakers: three-time presidential candidate, William Jennings Bryan (right) and famed defense attorney, Clarence Darrow (left.) Darrow ultimately lost the case but that outcome was preordained--he had always planned to appeal the verdict to the State Supreme Court. (He won the case on appeal.)
