Serving as an indictment of the Reagan Administration, this title examines how exaggerated fears of Soviet capabilities, hostility to the concept of an open society, as well as a search for total security and a revolution in constitutional law have institutionalized an attack on the Bill of Rights in ways that will be difficult to eradicate.
