Thou shalt not ...(Shattered Tablets: Why We Ignore the Ten Commandments at Our Peril)(Book review)
Shattered Tablets: Why We Ignore the Ten Commandments at Our Peril, by David Klinghoffer (Doubleday, 256 pp., $24.95)
WHEN entering the chamber of the U.S. Supreme Court, visitors walk past a massive wooden door. On the door's lower half, beautifully engraved into the oak, is an image of two tablets, each squared off at the bottom and rounded at the top. One tablet bears Roman numerals one through five, and the other six through ten. The symbol is immediately recognizable. It stands for one of the oldest and most cherished pillars of our civilization: the Ten Commandments, which, according to the Bible, God gave to Moses and the Israelites at Mount Sinai.
