...Heart Skipped." Could the polyptych be by Giotto and come from the Badia? Vasari had described such a work on the high altar. Later cleaning proved Procacci's hunch correct; handwriting analysis narrowed the date of the sticker to about 1810. Procacci was then able to reconstruct what had happened: the altarpiece had been removed in 1810 by Napoleon's troops from the Badia; then in 1815, through a clerical mistake, it had been returned instead to Santa Croce. Digging through the old floor plans of the Badia, Procacci made a second discovery. The church had been rebuilt...
...bottles of vermouth from the German army. Beggars on Horseback, by James Mossman, is a grisly, giggly satire about a mythical Middle Eastern kingdom where the British muddle through until they fizzle out. Trust, by Cynthia Ozick, is a massive (568 pages) and almost continuously impressive attempt to reconstruct the near-religious experience of Marxism cum Utopianism that gripped American Jewry in the '30s.

Total Confusion. For all that, the court's voluntariness doctrine lacked any objective test and turned instead on subjective appraisal of the "totality of the circumstances." In each case, the court tried to reconstruct the suspect's ability to resist the forces arrayed against him. The results were confusing. To weigh "totality," the court developed no fewer than 38 criteria, such as whether police conduct "shocked the conscience." In two cases similar to Escobedo, police barred the suspects' lawyers; one confession came after seven hours, the other after twelve. While voiding the first, the court upheld...
