The New York Times. Book Review. Justice is incomplete at best when it benefits only the few, as it has for the past several centuries. Two new books that grapple with separate-but-intertwined facets of institutional inequality are reviewed on the cover of @nytbooks this week. They suggest that that sense of judicial unfairness has, with time, only grown stronger in the wrong direction. Orlando Patterson reviews "The Affirmative Action Puzzle: A Living History From Reconstruction to Today," by Melvin I. Urofsky, and Kenji Yoshino reviews "Supreme Inequality: The Supreme Court's Fifty-Year Battle for a More Unjust America," by Adam Cohen. Art Direction by Matt Dorfman.
