"As a result, anonymous tips seldom could survive a rigorous application of either of the Spinelli prongs. Yet, such tips, particularly when supplemented by independent police investigation, frequently contribute to the solution of otherwise "perfect crimes." While a conscientious assessment of the basis for crediting such tips is required by the Fourth Amendment, a standard that leaves virtually no place for anonymous citizen informants is not." (Illinois v Gates)
However, the nearest book I'd read by choice (yeah, that baby took some reaching):
"Your father is a washed-out clock jockey. I think you overestimate his chances - and his talents. Besides, we've got the summer of 1947 locked down so tight not even a transtemporal gnat could get back there without us knowing about it. Retrieve Jack from 'The Raven' and you can have your own dear hubby back."
(Lost in a Good Book by Jasper Fforde, which is a book about books with an awesome female feminist protagonist. Hits all the nerdy feminist g-spots, plus is very funny.)

The Great American Bathroom Reader, by Mark B. Charlton
Don't study too hard. And confidential informants can only ever be confidential in investigating, not in the actual criminal case. That is my whole 2 cents worth of legal knowledge.

Who Hates Whom by Bob Harris. Page 123 only has 6 sentences; it's the end of a chapter. After "Juche, my ass," it's all white space to the end of the page.
"I could not yet bring myself to acknowledge that I wanted power; it was not a desire I could articulate even to myself. I framed my ambition in more comfortable language: that I wanted to have an impact, to get something done, to carry out my new responsibilities as effectively as possible.
Simultaneously, I was worried about the price of political success."
--Living a Political Life, by Madeleine Kunin, an autobiography by the first female governor of VT.
"While knowing all these limitations, several aspects of Jollee's persona and career choices were intriguing, and I was interested in seeing whether it would be possible to speak with her in a way that went beyond the typical script. At the 2006 Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas, I made two appointments to speak with her, but she didn't appear for either. Subsequent phone messages went unanswered."

The caption (on page 122) reads, "Brigadier General Charles Wax, Wing Commander of the 89th Airlift Wing at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, greets President Clinton as he leaves Marine One. June 15, 1995."
