...tall, intense, totally organized son of a prosperous Philadelphia lawyer, Amsterdam graduated from Haverford College summa cum laude in 1957, determined "to learn everything in the world." He pursued a graduate degree in art history at Bryn Mawr while he went to Penn law school, stood No. 1 in his class, edited the law review and sharpened the "void for vagueness" doctrine (meaning failure to specify an offense) that has since invalidated many an unjust Southern...

Master of the Peace. For the historians Author Morris supplies page on page of fascinating new facts, and for the general reader he supplies plenty of human interest. The Peacemakers tells a tall but true and often heroic tale of three shrewd Yankee traders-John Jay, John Adams and Ben Franklin-who sat down with the biggest double-dealers in Europe and played a bad hand so skillfully that they made off with the better part...
