...decisions a year, and he teaches law at the University of Chicago. He also finds time to churn out scores of law-review articles, speeches, op-ed pieces and, oh yes, a book or two a year. (His latest: An Affair of State, a scathing account of President Bill Clinton's impeachment woes; and the less reader-friendly The Problematics of Moral and Legal Theory.) "Dick is sort of a legendary intellect," says law-school colleague Randal Picker. "He is one of the great legal minds of the 20th century...
...suddenly talk of evidence seems fusty as Rose, who now claims he never had a gambling problem and who still regularly bets on horse racing, has succeeded in transforming his case into a sentimental cause, tapping into our national willingness to forgive errant public figures. Think of Bill Clinton, Marion Barry and even fellow baseballer Darryl Strawberry, who all admitted fault, showed contrition and were forgiven.

A 400-page, ghostwritten draft of the text, which focuses on race in America, sits stuck in his In box. The topic is one that Clinton cares deeply about and is supremely qualified to examine. Tentatively titled Out of Many, One, the book aims to offer the President's personal vision of future racial and economic justice, and a kind of work plan on how to get there.
