Victims' family members later posed
for a piece of sculpture she created,
called Dark Elegy.
Stephanie Bernstein, whose hus-
band, Michael, a U.S. Justice
Department special prosecutor, was
killed in the crash, helped lobby for
passage of the 1996 Anti-Terrorism
Act. The legislation was spurred on by
the Oklahoma City tragedy and a
study commission — which guaran-
tees a federal right of civil action
against state sponsors of terrorism.
Family members pushed for the bill
as a memorial to their loved ones. "It
seemed to be a very Jewish thing to
do," said Bernstein.
Gerson and Adler chide Presidents
Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush
and Bill Clinton and their aides for
not helping the families adequately,
and the U.S. government for not
being "on the right side of the legal
aisle" of the Pan Am 103 case.
"U.S. attorneys have appeared in
courts to side not with the families of
the victims intent on holding Libya to
account, but with Libya, arguing that it
enjoyed the right as every civilized state
to 'sovereign immunity' from accounta-
bility for murder," said Gerson.
In a preface to The Price of Terror,
written after Sept. 11, the authors
state: "When we submitted the book's
manuscript, the awful events of Sept.
11 were still in the future. As we reread
it, we couldn't help but be struck by
the connection between the bombing
of Pan Am 103 and the attacks on the
Pentagon and World Trade Center.
"We never intended that our story
should serve as an object lesson in the
face of another national tragedy, but

Simpson and Opening Arguments: A

States Supreme Court v. Oliver North.
"What all my books have in corn-
mon is that they reflect how law and
politics have increasingly merged in
our society and how political disputes
wind up in legal settings to a degree
that's never happened before in
American history," he says.
Toobin was primed for both his
Judaism and career interests at home.
His mother is Marlene Sanders, one of
the first women to broadcast TV
news. His late father, Jerome Toobin,
was news director at the public televi-
sion station in New York and Bill
Moyers' producer for many years.
"Our dinner table conversation
could be about my mother covering
Robert Kennedy's assassination or my

surely it has something to teach us."
Could Americans have done more to
prevent the Sept. 11 tragedy if they had
listened to the Pan Am 103 families?
Gerson replied: "If we had listened,
we probably would not have been as
complacent as we were at this time.
"The Pan Am 103 families were
treated like freaks — as if that bomb-
ing were just a fluke and no terrorism
like it would happen again. But we
were wrong. The country now has a
new attitude about terrorism."
Gerson sees no direct link between
Qaddafi and Osama bin Laden —
other than they share a hatred for the
United States, and their followers have
enormous willpower to commit their
deeds of terrorism.
"But President George W. Bush is
waging a serious campaign. We'll see
what the second phase will be like,
how he will handle other nations with
terrorist intentions."
Gerson, 56, was born in Uzbekistan,
then part of the Soviet Union, and
moved at age 5 with his family to New
York. He attended a yeshiva day
school, New York University Law
School, received a master's degree at
Jerusalem's Hebrew University and a
doctorate in international law at Yale.
He and his wife, Joan Nathan, the
cookbook writer whose television shows
have aired on PBS, have three children.

Watergate, and that turned out to have
a great influence on me," Toobin says.
If dinner-table conversation with his
wife and two children has to do with
his latest book, Toobin might move
on to offer some speculation about the
feelings Palm Beach Jews could bring
to the next election.
"Neither George nor Jeb Bush ever
got many Jewish votes in Palm Beach in
the past, and they're certainly unlikely to
get them in the future," he says. "I don't
think there'll be any kind of additional
backlash, but I do think people will
check their ballots awfully carefully."
