註釋"Mr. Levy begins with a long essay on the Ranters, the ornery radicals who confronted the state and repudiated the moral law in mid-seventeenth-century England. He continues with anecdotes about Supreme Court justices and - a highlight of the book - a behind-the-scenes account of the deliberation over the Pulitzer Prizes in history. His chronicles of a long debate with Harvard University Press over the publication of his book on blasphemy is both eye-opening and confounding. He concludes with essays on the origins of the Fourth Amendment; on the critics of his prizewinning study of the Fifth Amendment; and on Lemuel Shaw, chief justice of Massachusetts from 1830 to 1860, whom Mr. Levy calls America's greatest magistrate."--Jacket.
