The Warren Court, edited by Richard H. Sayler, Barry B. Boyer, and Robert E. Gooding Jr. New York: Chelsea House. $7.95.

This collection of 10 lucid essays by legal scholars examines the unprecedented social changes wrought by the US Supreme Court during the 15 years of Chief Justice Earl Warren's leadership. Included are discussions of the court's desegregation, reapportionment, and criminal procedure decisions, which Justice Warren deemed among its most significant. New York Times correspondent Anthony Lewis's brief biography of Warren and a chapter on "The Warren Myths" provide a clear assessment of the man, his philosophy, and his place within the court.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
