Price and the Struggle for Civil Rights, professor Howard Ball writes about the victories and defeats of the federal government to bring those guilty of the brutal murders of Michael Schwerner, James Chaney, and Andy Goodman to justice. The trio was murdered outside Philadelphia, MS, June 1964. More than 40 years later, Mississippi still has yet to bring any state indictments of murder against any of the Klansmen involved. Professor Ball examines the events leading up to the murders and the federal trial bringing the Klansmen involved to justice. The book centers around the Supreme Court case of United States v. Price, which Professor Ball believes was an important decision because it allowed the federal government to use the civil rights statutes to prosecute criminals who evaded prosecution for their criminal acts in southern states. + read more Date: 12-27-2004 1912: Wilson, Roosevelt, Taft & Debs - The Election that Changed the Country By James Chace 336 pp, Simon & Schuster Publishing Group, $25.95 By Patricia F.

Board Decision By Lee Louis Gabriel Three new books deal with the ramifications of the Brown decision on schoolchildren and the broader implications on racial justice for all African-Americans. All three authors are unanimous in saying that Brown was a dismal failure in its effect on African-American schoolchildren. The United States resisted the mandate of Brown requiring equal and integrated schools. The authors blame the Supreme Court, who decided both Brown I and Brown II. They agree that Brown I was a courageous decision because it struck down legal discrimination and that Brown II was a major step backwards when it declared that desegregation should take place with ''all deliberate speed.'' The Court did not vindicate the rights of African-Americans with an immediate remedy; it basically asked African-Americans to be patient and to wait for equality. It was this phrase that gave politicians license to ignore Brown, ensuring that on its 50th anniversary, African-Americans are still waiting. + read more Date: 11-22-2004 CLINTON SPEAKS OF BI-PARTISAN OPPORTUNITY IN AMERICA By Kim Paton On November 9, 2004, nearly 6,000 people braved the frigid upstate New York night to wind their ways into a packed field house and several ''overflow'' closed-circuit viewing areas for the Sacerdote Lecture Series, ''Great Names at Hamilton College.''

A Couple's Guide to Balancing Work, Love and Amibition By Fiona H. Travis 160 pp. Niche Press. $18.95 Patricia D'Ascoli Should You Marry a Lawyer? - A Couple's Guide to Balancing Work, Love and Ambition tackles the very real issues faced by couples in relationships where one of the partners is an attorney. Author Fiona H. Travis, Ph..D., a psychologist who is married to a lawyer, offers an insightful perspective to the often complicated marital relationships that involve attorneys.

In Cruel Justice, Domanick provides a revealing look at ''three strikes''—the California law that was supposed to keep serious career criminals off the streets but instead awarded 25-years-to-life sentences to perpetrators of nonviolent crimes. + read more Date: 11-08-2004 Little Known Facts About Marbury v.

Madison that you probably will not find in your Constitutional Law book. + read more Date: 11-08-2004 A Matter of Character: Inside the White House of George W.

According to investigative journalist Ronald Kessler, the President's character is visible in all the choices he has made in the past four years, ranging from education to healthcare to the war in Iraq. President Bush, Mr. Kessler argues, is a man of faith, conviction, and strong will that is, more often than not, misinterpreted by ''liberal critics and media.'' + read more Date: 11-01-2004 Hit Men: Power Brokers and Fast Money in the Music Business By Fredric Dannen Reviewed by Robert Gibbs Fredric Dannen's Hit Men reads more like a ready-for-the-big-screen novel than a non-fiction account of the rise of the billion-dollar record industry. Dannen, a former writer for Institutional Investor and editor for Vanity Fair, tells the intriguing story of how a number of colorful characters in the 1960s, '70s, and '80s turned rock 'n' roll into the money-making machine it is today. This group of power players was made up of attorneys, accountants, street thugs, and just regular company men who whelt and dealt and pulled and stretched the law to its limits on the way to creating what is now the modern recording industry. + read more Date: 10-25-2004 Current rating: 10 Chain of Command: the Road from 9/11 to Abu Ghraib By Seymour M.
