Federal Hill
During the thirty-four year period from 1898 to 1932, more than fifty thousand Italian immigrants arrived at the port of Providence. The majority of them settled on Federal Hill, the three-hundred-acre land mass that stands high above Rhode Island's capital city. This remarkable photographic history of Federal Hill features images of the community from the late 1800s to the mid-1960s, chronicling the arrival of immigrants from many countries over the years. Federal Hill is a rich community in many ways. Its hardworking and tenacious settlers started out with a deep and abiding faith in God. Their numerous accomplishments are evidenced today in the many thriving family-owned businesses and stunning architectural achievements so prevalent in the downtown area. Many people from around the state enter Federal Hill through the welcoming pine-cone arch for seasonal festivals or a night on the town. The vitality and hospitality of this historic area are truly cherished by many in the modern era.

A Backhanded View of the Law
Many of these delightful, short essays by corporate lawyer and legal scholar Rosenfeld originally appeared in his columns in the New York Law Journal. In a chatty style, he draws on history, literature, sports, nature, and his own life and career to drive home his points about the law and the human condition. He provides gentle, astute commentary on the absurdities of the American justice system and its practitioners, whom he accuses of venerating "hoary precedents" as their guide rather than simple justice. Exceptions include pieces on criteria for selection of Supreme Court justices and the morality of the Persian Gulf War, and the comparison of posh, 1000-member law firms with Abraham Lincoln's practice.
