The simpler and less ambiguous our principles of freedom, the more effective they are when crisis tests the first amendment.

WHY DID YOU GO TO WEST POINT? For the challenge.

WHY LAW SCHOOL? It's a complement to a master's in international relations I'm also working towards, at the Fletcher School at Tufts. I'm aiming for a policy or legal position in gov­ ernment.

WHY WAS THE VETERANS ASSOCIATION FOUNDED? The founders felt that a network of students with military experience could smooth the transi­ tion to civilian life (or into law school for those still on active duty) for veterans and their families. We're also forming a network of alunmi mentors who can discuss their practice areas with students.

DO VETS AT BC LAW HAVE SPECIAL CON­ TRIBUTIONS TO MAKE? We can put some legal issues in practical context. For example, in my international human rights class, we were discussing the UN convention on discrimination against women, and I was asked about equality for women in the US military- what I thought about ex­ ceptions made for combat positions and the draft. I was able to give a concrete example of how divisive it can be to advocate a human rights standard that isn't already accepted by the culture.

HAS YOUR GROUP DONE ANYTHING IN RESPONSE TO SEPTEMBER 117 We co-sponsored a panel on interna­ tionallaw and national security that featured three legal experts and two senior military officers. It drew a standing-room-only crowd of about 150. One of the things we learned was about the role of lawyers in the military, for instance that US Air Force attorneys are intimately in­ volved in targeting decisions. People came up to me afterwards and said, "I had no idea of that." - Interviewed by David Reich [ LEGAL CURRENTS ]

FALL 200 1 I Be LAW MAGAZI NE 13 the early 1970s a previously unpublished novelist took the book world by storm with three superb literary novels that were also page-turners and became national bestsellers. The Friends of Eddie Coyle (1972), The Digger's Game (1973), and Cogan's Trade (1974) achieved critical acclaim for their furious pace, their detailed depiction of life in the lower ech­ elons of the Boston underworld, and above all their charac­ ters' terse, authentic, funny, and sometimes casually brutal speech. "What dialogue!" blurbed literary bad boy Norman Mailer, not known for his being quick with a compliment. "What I can't get over is that so good a first novel was written by the fuzz." The novel's author, George V Higgins '67, was at the time an assis­ tant US attorney for the District of Massachusetts, a job that-Mailer notwithstanding-may have sharpened Higgins's ear for speech. "I lis­ tened to so many wiretaps and I read so many transcripts of wiretaps that quite unintentionally I became aware of the patterns of elision and compression that people use," Higgins recalled in an interview conduct­ ed in the middle 1980s. "And also of the acceleration and breakdown of syntax and diction of people who are under stress-that comes from tri­ als. If you're trying a case particularly on cross-examination, and you really get the son-of-a-gun cornered ... his diction begins to break down." Higgins, who died at age fifty- nine in 1999, published a total of BY DAVID REICH thirty books, mostly novels but also some nonfiction, including a book on Watergate, a book of advice for would-be writers, and a study of Boston mayor Kevin White. He would have written more books except that his publisher would only take one a year from him. He filled in by writing journalism, authoring, at vari­ ous times, columns for the Boston Globe and the Boston Herald, short pieces and book reviews for the New York Times, and articles for national magazines. As a novelist, Higgins showed more interest in the public sphere than the inner life; his novels dealt with politics, media, law enforcement, and the law. Like the writer John O'Hara (an early influence) he was particularly intrigued by social class and manners. In addition to his J.D. from Boston College Law School, Higgins had a B.A. in English from Boston College, where he edited the literary mag­ azine, and an M.A. from Stanford's creative writing program. After leaving the US attorney's office in the mid-1970s, Higgins entered pri­ vate practice, concentrating on criminal defense work. Speaking of the move, he said, "I've certainly had a different perspective since I've been defending cases instead of prosecuting them. None of the people I pros­ ecuted ever appeared to have a family. They ... richly deserved my trying to put them in jail. Now all of my clients seem to have wives and chil­ dren and fathers and mothers, and often I don't think they deserve to be put in jail at all." This new perspective informed his subsequent work, especially the Jerry Kennedy novels, which are the subject of the article that follows.

Kennedy, for his part, draws a close connection between sinfulness and crime when he says, in San­ dra Nichols, that generally, the motive for committing a crime is "one of five of the seven deadly sins: pride, greed, lust, anger, or envy. Or a combination of two or more of the above." This premise leads to two conclusions about crime and our responses to it. First, if crime is caused by sin, and human beings are sinful by nature, then utopian schemes to get rid of crime aren't going to work; at best we can keep it under con­ trol.

WHY RARE BOOKS?

BY VICKI SANDERS

he vibrancy of the living and thinking that went on within the T covers of the 1,000 volumes in Boston College Law School's rare book collection is still palpable today. Venture into the Daniel R. Coquillette Rare Book Room and you can feel it with all your senses: in the woodsy smell of a 473-year-old Magna Carta, in the amusing sight of the notebook doodles of a bored eighteenth-century law student, and in the soft touch of the first-edition leather binding of Sir William Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England from the 1700s.

Finding the Relevance

t is natural for legal historians to value a rare book collection, I but what is its worth to the Law School community as a whole? "It's one tool in the arsenal that adds to a school's reputation," says Curator of Rare Books Karen Beck. Coquillette contends that far from dusty relics, the books are relevant companions in the quest to understand current world affairs. Particularly in times like these, when the nation is in a period of rapid transition and stress, rare books take on renewed Cu rator of Ra re Books Karen Beck holds Jonathan Wooler's 1845 Every Man importance because they teach how law develops, he says.

"The big dispute now is whether those being way in which assumptions of subject matter change," he says. By detained are being represented," he says. "These things are really way of example, he mentions evidence treatises, which today relevant. To feel part of a great line of tradition, there is nothing focus on what evidence is admissible. By contrast, the treatises like holding in your hands the books of some of the great lawyers from the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries contain almost nothing about admissibility and hearsay; they focus on who is permitted to testify. "You can see in the con­ tents the basic change in concepts," Rogers says. He remembers a colleague once saying, after anoth­ er in a series of major changes to tax law, that he was giving up teaching the details of tax law and was going to teach only fundamental principles and transition rules. "He captured something about what we do as law professors," Rogers explains, "that what we need to teach is real fundamentals and how things change. To do that well, it's helpful to have the firsthand expe­ rience of what was, how different things are. We see both constancy and change when we're looking at books."

The secrets in student notebooks

Beck, the curator, gin­ gerly takes down from a shelf a set of manuscript note­ books of students who attended Litchfield Law School, America's first, in the 1800s.

PROFILE Catharine Wells

THE PRAGMATIST IN OUR MIDST

f it weren't for an adolescent plunge I into philosophical angst, there's no telling what BC Law Professor Catharine Wells would be doing today. As it happens, she was a Wellesley College stu­ dent in the turbulent 1960s when she encountered the writings of philosopher Charles Peirce. Peirce was a pragmatist, someone who understood the power of logic and philosophy but was determined to make them serve practical ends. "I was adrift at a time when the pressure to become purposeful was intense. Reading Peirce helped me to focus," says Wells. "I learned to live with my doubts and get on with my life." Getting on with her life meant hop­ scotching between two careers. She began graduate school in philosophy at the Uni­ versity of California, Berkeley, earned an M.A., and was one draft shy of finishing her doctoral dissertation, when she enrolled at Harvard Law School.

"He could say that without fear of con­ tradiction," Heckler laughed, "because I was the only girl in the class. It just makes you realize how long it's been." For Mary Ann Short '76, the highlight of the weekend was being reunited with such a large turnout of classmates. "Even though we've all taken different paths in life, people are still the same basic, wonder­ ful people they were when they were at the Law School," she said. On the subject of why alumni should attend reunions, Short observed, "We received an incredible edu­ cation. We owe a lot to the Law School, and it's important for us to remember that and to give back to the school" by coming back. - Stefanie Foster

Spitz 1 John H. Coghlin 1 Angela Mae Steadman 4 Rebecca Anne Connolly 1 here are many ways to make a gift or to fulfill a pledge Doris Fay Tennant 1 Lisa C. Copenhaver 5 Tto Boston College Law School. Those most frequently David R. Yannetti 1 Kathleen Kay Corkins 1 used are listed below. Each has its distinctive benefits, Jay F. Cortellini 1 depending on the type of asset contributed, the form of gift 1990 Manuel L. Crespo 5 selected, and the donor's age. The Development Office is Ivelisse]. Berio-LeBeau 5 Maureen E. Curran 2 prepared to work with donors to fashion the most beneficial Kerry A. Congdon 1 Daniel ]. Driscoll 1 gift for the donor, for the donor's family, and for Boston Paula G. Curry 5 Eileen M. Fava 5 College Law School. Mark DePillis 1 Charles Fayerweather 4 Brian C. Dunning 1 Susan Marie Finegan 4 OUTRIGHT GIFTS Carol Ann Dunning 1 Liam C. Floyd 1 The quickest and easiest way to make a gift is outright, either Bonnie Belson Edwards 1 Andrew M. Goldberg 5 by check or credit card. Outright gifts have the most immedi­ Timothy R. Flaherty 1 Joan R. Goldfarb 1 ate benefit to the Law School, because they can be applied Shirley Carter Friend 1 John C. Hardwick Jr. 1 right away to the purpose for which the gift is made. Chantal M. Healey 1 John E. Henry 1 Outright gifts may also be made using appreciated securities. Rebecca A. Ivry 1 Erin K. Higgins 4 Many people have stock holdings that have appreciated Adolfo E. Jimenez 1 John W. Kilborn 5 significantly. If some of these shares were sold, they would be Eric P. Kimball 3 Rebecca Anne Kirch 5 subject to capital gains taxes. A gift of appreciated securities Jeffrey M. Lovely 1 Michael W. Klein 5 allows the individual to avoid capital gains taxes on the con­ Michele C. Lukban 2 B. J. Krintzman 2 tributed shares and to be credited with a gift valued at the Ian T. Malee 1 Carolee Burton Kunz 5 full fair market value of those shares. Kevin J. McCaughey 4 Steven S. Locke 2 Dennis E. McKenna 5 Chih-Pin Lu 4 LIFE INCOME GIFTS Linda S. Menrad 1 Sally Malave 3 Federal tax laws provide for ways to structure a gift that Angela Hoover Morrison 2 Karen G. MaIm 1 provides a stream of income to the donor and/or another Rosemary E. Mullaly 5 Maura C. Mottolese 1 beneficiary the donor may name, while giving the donor a Yvette K. Mullaney 1 Pegeen Mulhern 1 charitable deduction for his or her philanthropy. Among the Hugh Murray 1 Joseph E. Mullaney III 5 most commonly used of such gift vehicles are charitable gift Patricia E. Muse 4 Donna F. Mussio 5 annuities and charitable remainder trusts. Life income gifts 1 Alicia Papke 1 Joris Naiman provide an immediate charitable deduction to the donor, Mary Ellen Natale 5 David W. Price 1 even though the Law School's use of the contributed assets Deirdre O'Connor Quinn 1 Martin Ris 1 is deferred until the term of the gift vehicle has expired. Terrance P. O'Grady 2 Mark D. Robins 1 With life income gifts, it frequently is possible to improve the Kathleen O. Pasqualini 1 Douglas B. Rosner 5 level of the donor's annual income, even while expressing Martin]. Pasqualini 1 Catherine Sinnott 5 one's philanthropic interest in Boston College Law School. Michelle R. Peirce 1 Jill M. E. Sullivan 1 Through such charitable gifts, a donor may also actually Amy Dwyer Ravitz 1 Stephanie Dadaian Thompson 5 improve the value of the estate he or she wishes to leave to David H. Resnicoff 1 William]. Thompson 5 heirs. In the final analysis, the potential advantages of such Maria C. Rodriguez 2 Eve Stolov Vaudo 1 Marie V. Santacroce 2 Gina Witalec Verdi 1 gift arrangements often enable individuals to make charitable Cheryl Lynn Schnabel 2 Geoffrey P. Wermuth 1 gifts at levels much higher than they thought possible. Deborah C. Segal 1 John E. Zajac 1 Judith A. Solomon 1 LIFE INSURANCE Christopher T. Vrountas 1 1992 Frequently, donors own a life insurance policy that is no Charles G.
