...courts, at a Law School forum last night. Sands is in the midst of a tour to promote his recent book, Lawless World, which describes the United States’ historical contributions to, and recent attacks against, international law and covenants.

However, he goes out of his way to mention on the back flap that he is both a pianist and a “private music scholar” who has been studying Beethoven with 50 years of devotion.
