...give him, free of charge. His plan was to pick up the burgers in Zagreb, fly them to Tuzla and pass them out to the U.S. troops he would be visiting. That gesture was pure Ron Brown: part theater, part business, with an eye on self-interest and a generous touch...
Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz was first off the mark with Reasonable Doubts, a discussion of the legal issues of the case with very little real drama. That missing ingredient, however, has been whipped up in generous gobs in both prosecutor Christopher Darden's In Contempt (ReganBooks; $26), written with Jess Walter, and this week's offering, defense attorney Robert Shapiro's The Search for Justice (Warner Books; $24.95), written with Larkin Warren.

Margaret was the bank's principal line of communications to the Governor, through Hillary, and Penick had been relying on Davenport to press the branch-banking issue in her periodic lunches with the state's first lady. Davenport had got to know Hillary when she first came to town in the late 1970s; they were among the few professional women in Little Rock at the time. As Governor, Clinton appointed...
