In college I studied Russian and political science, and later served in army
intelligence in Korea. I have a B.A. and J.D. from NYU. For 50 years I've
practiced constitutional and appellate law. During 1972-1993 I taught at
Brooklyn Law School; I am now professor emeritus. My courses included
Constitutional Law and Appellate Advocacy. I've authored some two hundred
articles, essays, and reviews, and publish commentary on legal and political
topics in the print media and on the Internet. Several of my out-of-print
books-The Gold Clause; Government's Money Monopoly; Sweet Land of Liberty?
The Supreme Court and Individual Rights; Speaking Freely: The Case Against
Speech Codes; and Why Not Call It Treason?-are available from various
Internet booksellers.
With novelist Erika Holzer, I'm author of Aid and Comfort: Jane Fonda in
North Vietnam and also Fake Warriors: Identifying, Exposing, and Punishing Those Who Falsify Their Military Service. My most recent book--The Supreme Court Opinions of Clarence Thomas, 1991-2011 (Second Edition)--was published in February 2012.
