|  | Authority by Eugene Kennedy, Sara C. Charles
In an extended reflection, the authors offer evidence drawn from every sector of American life and work to support their contention that in the rush to reject authoritarianism, which is something bad Americans have also rejected the very concept of authority, which is something good. Marriage, the home, business, academia, government and religious institutions are all examined and found wanting in this respect, as the authors argue persuasively for the importance of justice and appropriate authority as spiritual values which are critical to the education and development of future generations.

 | Why Terrorism Works by Alan M. Dershowitz
One of America's most distinguished defenders of civil liberties presents measures that will prevent terrorism and still uphold our democratic values The greatest danger facing the world today, says Alan M. Dershowitz, comes from religiously inspired, state sponsored terrorist groups that seek to develop weapons of mass destruction for use against civilian targets. In his newest book, Dershowitz argues passionately and persuasively that global terrorism is a phenomenon largely of our own making and that we must and can take steps to reduce the frequency and severity of terrorist acts. Analyzing recent acts of terrorism and our reaction to them, Dershowitz explains that terrorism is successful when the international community gives in to the demands of terrorists-or even tries to understand and eliminate the root causes of terrorism. He discusses extreme approaches to wiping out international terrorism that would work if we were not constrained by legal, moral, and humanitarian considerations. And then, given that we do operate under such constraints, he offers a series of proposals that would effectively reduce the frequency and severity of international terrorism by striking a balance between security and liberty.
