...highlight of the mission for Chief Archaeologist Scott Sledge, 38, was the discovery of a brass regimental facing plate, a shieldlike ornament from a soldier's bearskin cap, with the word royal clearly distinguishable. After gingerly brushing away some silt, Sledge recalls, "I came across something shiny right underneath." It was embedded in the surrounding coral, which he had to chip away carefully. Just as he was about to give up for the day and return to the surface, the plate loosened, and he was able to slide it out of the coral in perfect condition. Says Sledge: "That...
...these heavy wounds, both strict construction and original intent have been summoned up again and again by judicial advocates who have found them useful. Chief Justice Roger Taney, a sometime slaveholder, invoked both when, in 1857, he handed down the decision denying the freedom sought by the slave Dred Scott.

...million, what was really signed (and nicknamed Seward's folly) was only a 99-year lease. A crucial clause allows the Soviet Union to reclaim its property by paying a large sum in gold before the lease expires. Brezhnev, a stonehearted landlord, rubs his hands and plots eviction. Will Scott and the female bass-fiddle player who has befriended him make it across the right border? Will the property end up in the wrong hands? The questions are well worth pursuing to their odd conclusions. Rival thrillers may offer a more glamorously seedy cast, but name another book that ends...
