...women to seek desperate, dangerous illegal abortions before the Supreme Court legalized abortion in 1973. Each year thousands of women, a disproportionate number of them poor and minority, were killed or mutilated by "back-alley" abortionists and self-induced abortions performed with coathangers and knitting needles. As Judy Goldsmith pointed out, those who lived before 1973 remember that the screams of women were not silent. Kim Ladin...

Goldsmith dashed off a telegram to the President, urging him to condemn "the terrorist...
...tendency to rely on too much direct quotation from Boswell's compendious papers, as opposed to paraphrasing or explicating it. To nitpick, one feels another shortcoming is the dearth of illustrations accompanying the text to enliven the famous names. Many prominently mentioned members of Boswell's circle, Goldsmith, Burke, Temple, and most egregiously Boswell's father, wife and children, are not included. Neither, of course, are paintings of London or Edinburgh...
