He's a lucky student. Wish I'd been one of your students, but our timelines didn't quite work (I was a history major, Class of '80 here). James Banner and Marty Sherwin were around then.

The magazine lost me with this one. This is a screed that I wouldn't have read if it hadn't been at the top of my Atlantic feed. I'm now a happy ex-Atlantic subscriber.

Ann has great genes. Her mom, Carolyn, is a retired Texas judge, and her dad Jake was a Texas legislator. All three of them were and are great lawyers and public servants. So happy to see her out front speaking for her colleagues.
