I hate full justification. Now I just need to win over the bosses. I'm not prepared to take on the two-spaces-after-a-period issue just yet, though.

Quoted: After chewing that over, I’ve come to see that Ellen’s explanation makes sense. When it’s done properly, with good letter spacing, word spacing, and hyphenation, justified text is pleasing to the eye. And it also saves space, because playing with spacing and hyphenation allows you to fit more words on a page. But doing it properly requires a careful designer using a professional page-layout program. That’s a far cry from creating a document using Word or other word-processing software.

I wasn't a reader of the Baseball Card Blog until this final goodbye post, but I think I wish I had been. This is great.

Elliot Spitzer's successor is from the Cleve! The Midwest rises to the challenge again.

Quoted: As the subprime mortgage crisis unfolded over the past few months, the Law Blog has thought, Jeez, Eliot Spitzer would have fun with this one. With New York's former AG now ensconsed in the governor's mansion, it looks like Ohio AG Mark Dann is attempting to assume the roll of Wall Street's scourge. In a WSJ profile, he calls the subprime mortage mess the largest financial scam in American history.

I noticed this article too - here's a take from my professor Brian Kalt, mentioned here before

Quoted: There is an interesting article in today's New York Times (registration required) on a revival of Jewish culture in Poland. Before World War II, 10% of Poland's population was Jewish; now only about 0.3% is. But the unique culture of that 10% is apparently
