James Duncan jwalterdun2370 — I have a hard time believing that Chief Justice Burger was really as intellectually challenged as he is portrayed here. I also have more respect for Thurgood Marshall than to believe that he just loafed along his days on the Court. Still, this book was a fascinating look at the Supreme Court both as a bit of history and as a good look at how the Court is still run. Woodward organizes this book chronologically. It basically begins when Chief Justice Burger takes over from Chief Justice Earl Warren. Then it is divided into the courts yearly sessions. I thought Woodward did a great job evoking the personalities of the justices--though it surely has some inaccuracies due to cloudy political vision--as well as explaining some of the major issues the Court faced during Burger's early years. This is an important time in United States Constitutional Law history. Nixon resigned because the Supreme Court told him he had to produce tapes of his discussions with his cabinet even though he has immunity to some degree. Roe v. Wade was decided during this time, pushing to the outer limits the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Vietnam was out of control. First Amendment rights were being defined. And this book looks at the lives of the men (no women yet) in charge of making these decisions. While I had read most of the cases that were discussed in this book, I think Woodward explains the underlying conflicts and politics in a way that most people could understand. His looks at the decisions, however, don't pick up on all of the nuances and subtleties, so this is not the place to go if you want a deep look at the cases. Still, I think Woodward does an excellent job at showing just how important (it's frightening, really) it is to understand the Supreme Court and its members. They hold incredible power, and their decisions affect us all.

Paul Jarvis jarvis_p — "The content of lyric poetry, Hegel says, is the poet himself; he gives voice to his inner world so as to stir in his audience the feelings, the states of mind he experiences. And even if the poet treats 'objective' themes, external to his own life, 'the great lyric poet will very quickly move away from them and end up drawing the portrait of himself.' . . . the notion of lyricism is not limited to a branch of literature (lyric poetry) but, rather, designates a certain way of being, and, from this standpoint, a lyric poet is only the most exemplary incarnation of man dazzled by his own soul and by the desire to make it heard. I have long seen youth as the lyrical age--that is, the age when the individual, focused almost exclusively on himself, is unable to see, to comprehend, to judge clearly the world around him. If we start with that hypothesis (necessarily schematic, but which, as a schema, I find accurate), then to pass from immaturity to maturity is to move beyond the lyrical attitude. "

Patricia Casteleiro famousart — big, messy, sprawling and ambitious. I slightly prefer some of his tighter volumes -- White Noise, Americana, Libra -- but this is singular work, and like a lot of big novels, I'm not sure i can grasp it's shape and purpose in one reading.

Carlo Moody _arlo_alinco — Over and over and over again, for Sarah!!!

Jac Harries _ac_arries — It was just ok. Not particularly memorable, but a quick semi-entertaining read that was good for a three hour car ride. I had issue with the pacing, didn't end up caring for the characters too much, and the ending was not very satisfying. Had I known what I do now about this book I'd probably skip over it.
