I will check it out.

Ever heard of Innocent Smith? The idea for a person who would do strange things just to get a different perspective or renewed appreciation is both brilliant and funny. I believe the book it Manalive.

Kennedy (saw that near the end of the wikipedia article on Chesterton) concerning laws.
