Zahn's Best Work!

Witty and Aggressive! But still a few things to criticize.
I have read this book over five times, and absolutely love it for its wit, humor and incredible investigative sharpness. There are things about the book I love, and things about the book I disagree with, but overall, Faludi has written a book that has kept people ...

For civil rights lawyers who toiled through the 1980s in the increasingly barren fields of race and sex discrimination law, the approval of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990 by a nearly unanimous U.S. House and Senate and a Republican President seemed almost fantastic.
