Virginia Product review: Have not read the book at all, but I just discovered while listening to oral argument in the 1967 case of Loving v. Virginia, that the Va. Asst. Atty. General used this book to justify a state's right to make interracial marriages illegal. He used this as part of his argument defending Virginia's law under the "rational basis" test, no less; the easiest level to lose on Constitutional grounds (for a controversial subject, that is; have to show that making the classification makes sense toward attaining some legitimate policy objective).Like the German lawyer in the film "Judgement at Nuremburg" cited Holmes in Buck v. Bell ("three generations of imbeciles is enough") to defend German judges' orders to sterilize people, this volume is likely useful at least as history of law and social science, showing us how completely wrong we have been, and the ability of courts to recognize that in real time.The Lovings won, after all.

Review title: Great sci fi Product review: This is great "hard sci fi." It's not always easy to follow - as if Henry James had written a sci fi book. But I found it a very satisfying read.I think Herbert was having some fun with this story, including having a little fun with his readers.A first-rate book.Not at all like Dune, by the way.

Review title: An interesting plot Product review: This mystery includes ghosts, people's reputations, and the dogthat barked in the night. It was difficult to put the book down.Ellie goes off to housesit her aunt Kate's estate in the Virginiahorse country, and immediately encounters a resident ghost, or isit? Various ancestors of "old families" make an appearance, and just what are the dark secrets the families have buried?Between eccentric Aunt Kate, her friend Ted, the neighboring doctor and his son, Donald, some strange servants, and the present generation of the "old families," not to mention the large assortment of dogs and cats along with a pet rat, the story gets interesting. Is there trickery, perhaps mass hallucinations, or has someone really raised the dead?There are some sidelights about the Washington Redskins, and an argument about who was the best quarterback of all times. Disagreement with Kate can give men a bad itch where gentlemen don't scratch. Overall, it was good reading for a rainy evening.
