Looking from the outside, no one can say what any marriage is really like, but even during their private hours the Nixons were often apart. No one could overlook the many weekends he went off to Camp David or to the Bahamian island of Robert Abplanalp with Charles G. ("Bebe") Rebozo, leaving Pat alone.

But judges too had experienced their own consciousness raising and could no longer overlook outright brutality. If the right not to be barbarously treated was recognized, could other rights be far behind? The Black Muslims scored a major victory when they persuaded federal courts in 1961 to recognize their right to bring suit protecting their religion. Other legal challenges followed. In a series of state...
