A COSMOPOLITAN LAWYER: JUST SOME READINGS I HAVE ENJOYED LATELY

First, this blog replaces my previous blog, thecosmoplitanlawyerblogspot.com . Second, unlike that earlier blog, the present one is primarily meant as a record of my readings. It is not meant to suggest that others will be or should be interested in what I read. And third, in a sense, it is a public diary of one who is an alien in his own American culture. A person who feels at home just about anywhere, except in his birthplace . . . America.

AN OPEN MIND IS THE KEY

Richard Russo, Straight Man (New York: Random House, 1997) ("[E]ven complex problems . . . often have simple solutions if we keep our minds open. An open mind, I need not remind readers, is the key to a successful university life, and may even have indirect application to those living and working outside Academy." Id. at 215. Unfortunately, I have found an open mind to be a rarity even inside the Academy.).
