...whose extensive pre-Court political activity so accustomed them to practical politics that they could not resist the temptation to intervene in executive of legislative affairs Brandeis, a Woodrow Wilson appointee who served on the Court between 1916 and 1939, had previously been a Populistic "People's Attorney," a Zionist and opponent of trusts on whom Wilson relied for regular advice...
...President one night surreptitiously sneaked over to the Justice's Washington apartment for advice on a political appointment--Brandeis, as a Justice proffered his advice quietly but persistently, using Wilson lieutenants as intermediaries. The depth of his feeling on several prominent issues of the day the need for a Zionist homeland and the cause of Progressivism also made behind-the-scenes lobbying for specific policies a temptation Brandeis could not resist...
That in a way, is the irony of The Brandeis Frankfurter Connection. For all their machinations, both men emerge as wise and present leaders--men whose visions helped bring America Keynesian economics and compassionate social welfare policies, and helped give the world a Zionist homeland (thanks to their vigorous advocacy at home and abroad).

Mendelsohn, professor of the History of Science, who wrote the study with the American Friends Service Committee, begins his discussion of Israel's occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. But the analysis of the Arab Israeli/Palestinian conflict, which occupies half of this work, isn't an exercise in ideological claptrap. Serious questions surface and so do concrete solutions. On the Palestinian question, Mendelsohn urges the implementation of the U.N. Security Council...
