Description
I June 2, 1957: "Should Leopold Be Paroled?" The Chicago Sunday Tribune wanted your opinion. So did Nathan Leopold. Leopold, who, along with Richard Loeb, murdered Bobby Franks in 1924. It was dubbed a "thrill kill," murder for kicks, "the crime of the century." Leopold and Loeb: young, smart, wealthy, educated, Jewish, homosexual. At the time of the murder, they were nineteen and eighteen years old, respectively, students at the University of Chicago, and lovers. Loeb was killed in prison in 1936. Now, after thirty--three years, Nathan Leopold would soon be up for parole. "Expiation? Atonement? Whether I have paid my debt to society? ... Other people will have to decide."
