...practiced . . . But we find the postulated connection between advertising and the erosion of true professionalism to be severely strained. At its core, the argument presumes that attorneys must conceal from themselves and from their clients the real-life fact that lawyers earn their livelihood at the bar. We suspect that few attorneys engage in such self-deception...

The Constitution even makes a ritual appearance in the American television cop show: there comes a moment of denouement when the detective, triumphant but sardonically obedient to the Miranda decision, snaps the cuffs on a suspect and growls, "You have the right to remain silent.

Writers have often thought of the Constitution in nautical terms, a motif probably suggested by the image of the ship of state.

No organic cause was ever discovered. The latest medical research has focused on several viruses active in fatigue-syndrome sufferers. One frequently cited suspect is Epstein-Barr virus, a member of the herpes family that is carried by an estimated 90% of American adults. Researchers speculate that stress, an immune-system deficiency or even environmental toxins could activate EBV, which is known to cause most cases of infectious mononucleosis and has been linked...
