The administration of the Vatican is a highly complex affair, and the men who run it are talented, exceptional, and often enigmatic people. In this book, Peter Hebblethwaite has used his skills and experience of everthing papal to reveal the inner workings of the Vatican and the personalities of those (including the present Pope) who help to run it.

From Library Journal\nBold and controversial in his opinions, Justice Douglas exhibited these qualities in his correspondence as well. These letters are a treasure trove: exuberant and wide-ranging; choleric, when Frankfurter was involved; deluded, in assessing Justice Byron White; disingenuous, about his own role in obtaining appointment to the Securities and Exchange Commission and the High Court. They are among the most important documents we have about the Court and about a judge who, serving on it for 34 years, knew most of the great legal minds of the century. They show Douglas exchanging ideas, arguing legal, political, economic, foreign policy, and environmental positions, with a wide cast of characters. Historians, legal scholars, and Court watchers will find this collection offers a richly textured picture of our law and society. Milton Cantor, Uiv. of Massachusetts, Amherst
