...government gained an insight into the scope and sophistication of the insurgency by staging a series of raids on about 30 clandestine guerrilla "safe" houses in and around Guatemala City, most operated by the country's second largest guerrilla organization, the Revolutionary Organization of the People in Arms (ORPA). In the houses, the military discovered everything from quantities of arms to bomb factories to enterprises devoted to turning out fake police and military uniforms and even fake license plates. At one location the army also found the body of U.S. Businessman Clifford Bevens, 56, who was kidnaped in December...

Each point in the unemployment rate also represents, as the President explained last month, roughly $19 billion in potential but lost federal revenues, plus some $6 billion in financial assistance that the Government disburse jobless. Such statistical and elaborations usefully suggest the vast scope of unemployment and its staggering cost in both forfeited wealth and rescue efforts.

Posner prefaces each of his four treatises in professorial, outline-on-the-board fashion ("In this chapter, I ask how...," "I hope to challenge...," "I will sketch a model...). With such broad scope, The Economics of Justice cannot avoid a certain disjointedness, and the author's faith in the wonder of human rationality poses a familiar problem for questioning readers. Yet the incisiveness of Posner's ideas shine brilliantly through the flaws. No one has to agree with everything Posner says, or even very...
