What a pathetic bunch of male jurists. Except for Sandra Day O'Connor, the Justices should all be replaced by the brilliant young ghostwriters who draft their opinions...
...sharp one-line digs at Mondale arranged by subject matter, and "winners," similar capsule comments meant to highlight his own strengths. The bulk of the 30-page book addressed a dozen probable questions, with detailed answers. (The President's briefing book for the first debate had anticipated every question except one on abortion.)

The matter-of-fact Macchiavellianism...
