     ANDY THIBAULT, AUTHOR OF LAW & JUSTICE IN EVERYDAY LIFE and a member of the Litchfield-Morris Rotary Club, was our speaker tonight.  F. Lee Bailey calls it an "extraordinary book" by an "extraordinary man."

      It deals with dirty cops, political hacks, inept judges, and bureaucratic inertia exposed by Andy in his columns in the Connecticut Law Tribune as well as articles he wrote for Connecticut Magazine, the Hartford Courant's Northeast Magazine, and The Norwich Bulletin.

      Andy admitted, "I have a bad attitude with the government, the court system, and the police system."  He read excerpts from his book and fielded questions and comments. The book is available at Borders and Barnes & Noble. Andy also had some copies with him and sold some to members present. 

     Diane Smith, author, CPTV producer and WTIC morning show co-host, says "Andy has made a career comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable.  Justice might be blind, but his vision is 20/20 when it comes to how the system delivers its product every day." 

     Andy has written scathing articles about the Connecticut State Police and its present commissioner.  Yet, when the [state police alumni association] wanted a book written to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the state police this year, [they]  turned to Andy to do it.  The state police book will be out later this year.
