Forty years ago, following the appointment of their professors to the federal bench, a tiny group of conservative law students at Yale Law School worried that their ideas might disappear from intellectual discourse in this bastion of liberal thought. They set out to fill that void. But they ended up achieving way more than that. Over the next few decades, the Federalist Society became an integral tool in the larger conservative movement, with political, judicial, and social repercussions ending in the conservative capture of the Supreme Court and the election of Donald Trump to the presidency.

Those of us who follow politics in the US are well aware of the influence brought to bear by the Federalist Society over the last few decades. But I was gobsmacked by the extent to which they have infiltrated the Federal Courts as laid out by Vicki Ward’s reporting. The pandora’s box of the Federalist Society engineered Citizen’s United decision has brought us to a dangerous place. No wonder conspiracy theories abound given the out of sight hijinks of this powerful,
brilliantly devious political minority. Pipeline to Power should be required listening for all US History classes in this country.

For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand.

This is an achingly beautiful book. Every chapter offers an unexpected view of the the world writ large, and of oneself.
