In 1987, in the rare-book room of the New York Public Library, history buff Philip Masters discovered a 1719 book about a pirate's trial in 1718--the year the storied Queen Anne's Revenge was lost near North Carolina.

He and Elizabeth fall into a little routine onstage-she's the smart, gabby wife, he's the exasperated but loving husband-and when she interrupts him by mopping up some water that...
...verdict represents a major victory for the defense, which, amid prosecution missteps, managed to get dismissed before trial a series of charges that Jordan had lied to Army investigators. Legal experts and human rights activisists reacted quickly to the outcome, saying the Army had bungled the case and shown itself incapable of maintaining accountability among senior officers in the Iraq war?s single most prominent abuse scandal...
