...TIME: This volume is so sad, not just because of King's death but because it seems as though he was being marginalized-everything was being heaped on him. The FBI is getting uglier with its dirty tricks, his most loyal lieutenants are scrabbling and pulling back.

The race of devils was busy in 1993, but the mechanism of human inclinations was working as much in the uglier direction, toward war. The global village is really a large, disorderly global city, with many poor neighborhoods, a few that are rich and a number that are terribly dangerous. But as the Balkans reminded everyone, the global city has no police force. Bosnia has been a tragedy of peacemaking turned...
