My double life

"Levy was an Assistant District Attorney of New York City, trial lawyer, and a writer of light verse who loved opera and theater. His father, a highly successful lawyer, insisted that his son become a lawyer, but Newman really wanted to become a writer, lyricist, and a musician like his cousin Richard Rodgers. In fact he studied music composition with Deems Taylor and composed musicals as a college undergraduate before going to law school. In the course of a successful law career, he also became a writer of light verse for the New Yorker, the Saturday Evening Post and other popular magazines, and published several books of light verse."@en
