Caroline chose St. Thomas More, a small, neighborhood Roman Catholic church a few blocks from their mother's Fifth Avenue apartment, where she and John had gone to Mass as children. Despite reports of family friction over the choice of venue, a source familiar with the arrangements told TIME, "From Day One, it was always going to be at this church."

It is actually much more--a scholarly but accessible work that aims, in some small way, to raise public understanding of a complex legal problem. "I hope it will show people there is a process for working things out," she said in 1995. "To the extent that we are all educated and informed, we will be more equipped to deal with the gut issues that tend...
