Abstract

The Establishment Clause: Religion and the First Amendment. By Leonard W. Levy. New York: Macmillan Publishing Company, 1986. 236 pp. $16.95.

With this book the author of seminal works on freedom of the press and the privilege against self-incrimination focuses his considerable talents upon perhaps the most nagging constitutional problem of all: church and state. Leonard Levy's sights are clearly fixed upon Ronald Reagan, William Rehnquist, and other "nonpreferentialists," whom he arraigns on charges of willfully distorting history to buttress their conservative political views on school prayer and aid to parochial schools.
