Dorothy Rabinowitz provides us with a teaser of her book No Crueler Tyrannies: Accusation, False Witness, and Other Terrors of Our Times[Wiki] in a short OpinionJournal essay:

I did not know then that a core of prosecutors' witnesses--verifiers of abuse--all worked from the same list of alleged abuse crimes and symptoms. Not for nothing did the "secret room" the well-traveled bad clown, the magic juice drink and the rest all make their appearance in the trials held around the country in the 1980s and the early '90s.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
