...reaffirm the spiritual foundations of the law, he could have done that the way countless other judges and lawmakers have been doing it for decades. Sessions of Congress open with prayer, the Attorney General holds prayer meetings each morning in his office, the Supreme Court routinely asks that "God save the United States and this honorable court." All that seems required for such conduct to persist unchallenged is not to call attention...
...these things." But Hamid Abdul Latif, 50, a clerk in the Iraqi Ministry of Justice, appreciates the unadorned flavor. "I like it plain," he says, "but that might be because I have an ulcer."
