Currently Reading:
Scorpions: The Battles & Triumphs of FDR's Great Supreme Court Justices by Noah Feldman: tells the story of four great justices: their relationship with Roosevelt, with each other, and with the turbulent world of the Great Depression, World War II, and the Cold War. It also serves as a history of the modern Constitution itself, exploring the constitutional battles of the Roosevelt era (1940s and 1950s) and their contemporary relevance.

Vane Pursuit by Charlotte MacLeod: A dastardly gang of rogues is sneaking around Balaclava county, snatching priceless antique weather vanes. Before they disappear entirely, Helen Shandy decides to photograph as many as she can for the Balaclava Historical Society files and the Smithsonian Institute. A good thing, too. Helen gets a shot of the vane atop the Lumpkin Soap Factory only hours before thieves set the building ablaze and run off with the treasure. Both Helen and her husband Peter Shandy find themselves doing battle with ruffians before the mystery is solved.
