Law and reality in publishing and entertainment (seldom the same thing) from the creator's side of the slush pile, with occasional forays into politics, military affairs, censorship and the First Amendment, legal theory, and anything else that strikes me as interesting.
One of the other reasons I've been somewhat less voluble of late can be inferred from the video embedded on the left. I'm a "mere consultant" in this one... primarily because I know not only where the relevant bodies are buried in New York, but their names, what they were wearing when they were buried, and exactly which of their bones are already broken (so we don't waste time during depositions on the already-broken ones). <VBEG> That said, y'all have fun on this lovely Monday, and don't spend too much time trying to figure out the strategy and tactics behind the press release in question; just be assured that its tone is not the inevitable outburst of a professional curmudgeon.
Or not only such a result. Hyperbole has its place, and its purpose...
