...secretly desire to beef up your knowledge of constitutional history so you can jump straight into the crossfire of your government concentrator roommate’s next dinner discussion? Look no further than Historical Study A-84, “American Constitutional History from the Framing to the Present.” While Law School professor Morton Horwitz’s voice may wear you out almost as much as that last sentence did, lectures on the Supreme Court and insights on individual judges are intriguing.

...have tried to take too large a bite of analytical pie. The authors certainly drive home their points with statistical and anecdotal data spanning the fields of politics, business, and spirituality, but their findings are difficult to remember after an additional 100 pages on the past, present, and future of all of American society. “Applebee’s America,” reads more like a Social Analysis textbook, with its monikers, catch-phrases and broad observations, than a New York Times non-fiction bestseller.
