Synopsis America has entered a moral decline whose effects threaten to undermine the coherence of our society, according to Washington lawyer Morgan and Tennessee law professor Reynolds. Despite the passage of various governmental ethics laws in the wake of Vietnam and Watergate, public confidence in the honesty of government has declined. The authors attribute this to the reformers' mistake in focusing not on actual impropriety but on the appearance of impropriety, an appropriate standard for ensuring judicial impartiality but not for settings where such neutrality is elusive.

Publisher's Note Determined to dig up dirt about a less than wholesome basketball team, a calculating sports columnist embarks on an investigation that opens wounds and endangers his life.

Industry reviews "While too singleminded in its conclusions..., this analysis offers disturbing reminders that ethicists need to think through the full consequence of their new rules."
