Last week a federal judge in Manhattan dismissed the Justice Department lawsuit. U.S. District Judge Edmund Palmieri, citing cases back to 1804, ruled that the headquarters agreement is a valid treaty that cannot be superseded by the 1987 U.S. Anti-Terrorism Act.

Only rarely does Rockwell take the bull by the horns and confront the reader with a controversial statement. One case in which Rockwell does reach for eloquence is in his essay or. Latin musician Eddie Palmieri, one of his finest chapters. He writes...
