Review
Myths are hard to kill, but if reason and reasonableness can ever persuade, Professor Levy's book should convert those who still cling to the naive jurisprudence of 'original intent.'--Eugene V. Rostow
Leonard Levy's masterful analysis of the doctrine of original intent combines meticulous scholarship with glorious demolition.--Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr.
Merciless and brilliant. In fascinating detail...Mr. Levy demonstrates that there can be no such animal [as original intent]....Judges and the rest of us can learn much from this remarkable book.--Anthony Lewis, former New York Times columnist "The New York Times "
