Britney	okay song; it was pretty sad. Feb 29, 2012
David Dixon	This is one of the greatest of the early "injustice" songs-a neglected jewel in the Dylan catalog. He crafted a song of evocative images, intense alliteration, and using rhyme only when it suited him, into a call for listeners to mourn at corruption and injustice-all from a newspaper article. After all these years, it still reverberates with passion when he sings it in concerts. Dec 20, 2007
Bill Cohen	Powerful testimonial about the law as it relates to the rich and the poor. So prophetic. Still happening today. The indifference of the rich murder is gripping. William Zanzinger wound up with a 6 month suspended sentence. Jan 27, 2006
cje	best of the early songs. performance of it on 'Don't look back' is stunning May 03, 2005
