also pmrides many other benefits, some of them highly specialized, that are not at all well known. Applicable statutory pmvisions and their implementing regulations are lengthy and complex, and Some PO-tential beneficiaries are pmbably unaware of their entitlements. The book here noted seeks ta fill this gap.

This is not a law book, but a practical guide for laypersans thmugh the governmental maze of the largest insurance and benefit pmgram in the history of the world. Each of the eleven chapters is followed by a section, "Questions and Anmers," in which illustrative fact situations are offered to show the application of the system's rules and regulations. The text is written in plain English that should be intelligible to anyone with a high shoo1 education

Afler a short table of contents, the opening chapter pmridedes anoverview of the Social Security system, its history and purposes, and some points concerning the everyday mechanics of the system. Eligibility far benefits is discussed in bmad terms. The second chapter explains how to ealleet benefits. Subsequent chapters discuss retirement, disability, and survivors' benefits. Supplemental Security Income for people with low incomes is examined. Four chaptem an devoted to the intricacies of Medicare, both outpatient and hospitalization coverage. A concluding chapter reviews a variety of special cares and situations not covered by the general rules. The work closes with a subjeet-matter index.

The author, David Andrews, is a free-lance writer who has published other works on Social Security and other topics.

Governmental misconduct has received considerable public attention during the put decade. Mast public interest has focused on high-level federal and state officials. Less publicized, but perhaps more signif-cant in numbers of incidents, is the misconduct of lower ranking officials, such as palice officers. The book here noted deals speeifeally with this topic. Of concern to the authors ape not cases ai honest mis-takes of police officers made in the heat of responding to violent and dangernus crimes. Rather, their subject is calculated and deliberate ri- 139
