A CONSTITUTION FOR THE WORLD, introduced by Elizabeth Mann Borgese. Santa Barbara, California: Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, 1965. Pp. 112 (paperback). The text of the preliminary draft of a World Constitution as written and published in 194748 is set out in this book. The main portion of the text is taken up by a backward look at the Constitution by Elizabeth Mann Borgese. She concludes that even after twenty years the bulk of the material has maintained an amazing currency, the political analysis was correct, and that many of the predictions based on it turned out to be prophetic.

THE BLACK CODES OF THE SOUTH, by Theodore B. Wilson. University, Alabama: University of Alabama Press, 1966. Pp. 192, $5.95. The Black Codes were passed in an attempt to retain the Negroes as agricultural workers. The Laws were severe, but at the same time, they contained some provisions de- signed to protect the recently freed slave and ease the southern conscience. Wilson analyzes the various possible motives of the southern legislatures for adopting the Codes in the light of existing social and economic conditions, weighing the importance of the Black Codes as a possible provocation of Radical Reconstruction. It is a thorough examination of a distressing period in southern history.

CRIME AND ITS CORRECTION, by John Conrad. Berkeley, California: University of California Press, 1965. Pp. viii, 312, $7.50. This book is a realistic account of current correctional practices in Europe and the United States as well as an expression of ideas about needed reforms. The basic cor- rectional process, aimed at firm but humane execution of the law, is remarkably similar in the countries studied. However, advanced practices, based on the findings of be- havioral science and aimed at effecting changes of behavior, are found in relatively few institutions.

F.B.I. MAN, by Louis Cochran. New York: Duell, Sloan and Pearce, 1966. Pp. xiii, 208, $4.95. Out of his experiences as a Special Agent, Cochran dis- tills the essence of an FBI man's daily life-the background and the training that prepare such men for their jobs. 388 NORTH DAKOTA LAW REVIEW

FREEDOM AND THE PUBLIC: PUBLIC AND PRIVATE MORALITY IN AMERICA, by Donald Meiklejohn. Syracuse: Syracuse University Press, 1965. Pp. ix, 163, $4.95. See book review, supra.

JUVENILE COURT HEARING OFFICERS TRAINING MANUAL: DELIN- QUENCY AND NEGLECT, edited by Van Doren, Steingold and Downs. Ann Arbor, Michigan: Institute of Continuing Legal Education, 1965. Pp. vii, 433. The material in this book was developed as a training manual for the Juvenile Court Hearing Officers Training Program presented by the Institue of Continuing Legal Edu- cation. The materials will be of considerable value to those whose professional activities bring them into contact with juvenile court matters.

SECURITY INTEREST IN PERSONAL PROPERTY by Grant Gilmore. Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 1965. Pp. xxxiv, 1508 (2 vol.). In this two volume treatise Professor Gilmore, co-reporter for article nine of the UCC from first draft to completion, points the way to the interpretation which will be given to its provisions by the courts by analyzing the bodies of data most relevant to its construction: The pre-Code law; the deliberations and debates of the reporters and the drafts and redrafts which developed from them; the legislative history, the why of article nine as it emerged in final form; and the growing body of decisions handed down since the Code first was enacted.

SEX, PORNOGRAPHY, & JUSTICE, by Albert B. Gerber. New York: Lyle Stuart, Inc., 1966. Pp. 349, $10.00. This is heralded as the first complete and serious study of the subject from the middle ages to today when pornog- raphy seems to be becoming legal. The discussion is totally frank, but it offers a sound solution to the riddle of pornog- raphy without jettisoning the entire doctrine and simply saying "anything goes."

TAx FACTS ON LIFE INSURANCE, 1966. Cincinnati: The National Underwriter Co., 1966. Pp. 302 (paperback). Handy questions and answers on federal income, estate and gift taxation as they affect life, health and group in- surance, annuity and endowment contracts. The book in- cludes all pertinent regulations, rulings and court decisions as of January 1, 1966. Kindly mention the REVIEW when ordering these books.
