A Peek At New Style & Arts Section
I have obtained, via an intrepid stroll to the other side of the room, the new Style & Arts section that will debut Sunday. The Arts section is no more; Sunday Style is no more. This is a fusion of the two, though if I had to take a stand on whether it's more Stylish or more Artsy, I'd probably say more Artsy, because of the movie listings and the movie ads and the conspicuous absence of the Style Invitational (which has been moved to Saturdays).
Big news: Pulitzer Prize-winning fashion writer Robin Givhan (all 7 words are now part of her legal name) has a new, weekly column in Tony K's old spot (and has a piece on Jenna Bush and the celebritization of political progeny). There's a story by Teresa Wiltz on New Orleans musicians, and a big take-out by Phil Kennicott on Washington's nocturnal beauty (complete with great photos by Bill O'Leary, including one, of the Lincoln Memorial, that may be the largest photo I've ever seen in the paper - it's like 17 columns wide or something).
I'm sorry to see that Life Is Short - Autobiography as Haiku is gone, though I bet it resurfaces somewhere eventually. Style boss Deb Heard will host a live online discussion on all these changes on Monday.
Culture Climbing
Transitioning out of vacation. Went to the Elephant & Castle at 12th and Penn and had dinner with a gaggle of academics and literati. Michael Dirda had the best line: He said he reads a lot of science fiction and genre literature "to avoid having to read another novel about adultery in Connecticut."
Then, off to a book party for Dana Thomas, a Newsweek writer and former colleague at the Style section, who is getting raves for her book on the commodification of luxury goods. I scrupulously avoided looking for bloggable material -- I was in civilian clothes, in other words -- but I did talk to a fellow blogger about blogging. Shop talk. The page view thing. And now have mentioned it. It's a sickness.
But I have to be honest: My head is still in summer mode, which means it takes all of my psychic strength simply to wear long pants.
Here's my current obsession: I need to stage a major surge to overcome this menace. I'm told that the late Henry Mitchell, when asked what to do when a garden gets infested with bindweed, advised, "Move."
But in fact we just adapt, and learn to find beauty amid disorder:
He had little patience for people who want their flowers to be foolproof and in continuous bloom. A foolproof flower, such as the stiff, relentless black-eyed Susan, can never break your heart. Henry liked flowers that could "make a lady squeal." He loved his bearded irises, old roses, and peonies. He thought they bloomed for just the right length of time, smartly disappearing before you can tire of them. If you bemoaned that a particular rose only flowered once a year and for such a short period, he would advise you to take a vacation from work in order to stay at home and watch it bloom. He did.

Uh-oh. This can't be good:
Astronomers have found an enormous hole in the Universe, nearly
a billion light-years across, empty of both normal matter such as
stars, galaxies, and gas, and the mysterious, unseen "dark matter."
While earlier studies have shown holes, or voids, in the large-scale
structure of the Universe, this new discovery dwarfs them all."Not only has no one ever found a void this big, but we never even
expected to find one this size," said Lawrence Rudnick of the
University of Minnesota.
[Update: I've been thinking about this all morning and have two rather obvious thoughts:
First, if we could penetrate this enormous void, we might not find ordinary matter or dark matter, but we would discover billions and billions of unmatched socks.
Second, the void was surely created by a technologically advanced civilization in which someone at an "open house" saw a mysterious switch on the wall and flipped it.]

Here's the L.A. Times story on Pace preparing to recommend a cut in the number of American soldiers in Iraq.
Any discord among the top U.S. generals could be awkward for Bush, who professes to rely heavily on advice from military leaders. But there also is tremendous pressure for military officers to speak with one voice and defer to Petraeus and other field commanders. It remains possible that the Joint Chiefs may opt to weaken their stance before approaching Bush.According to a senior administration official, the Joint Chiefs in recent weeks have pressed concerns that the Iraq war has degraded the U.S. military's ability to respond, if needed, to other threats, such as Iran.
The chiefs are pushing for a significant decrease in troop levels once the current buildup comes to an end -- perhaps to about half of the 20 combat brigades now in Iraq. Along with support units, that would lower the U.S. presence.

The next president probably won't be a veteran, reports our Peter Baker:
Jackson, the military historian, said he thinks the change in leadership makes a difference in terms of policy if not politics. "When you have leaders who haven't gone [to war], I do think it changes the equation a little bit," he said. "It's a little bit worrisome. People who have actually been to war ... are actually a little less inclined to go to war. Generals know what war's about and they're less enthusiastic to go rocketing off than civilians." On the other hand, many former Clinton aides say he was so sensitive about his lack of service that for years he deferred to the Pentagon until he finally grew confident enough to make his own judgments.

Chinese deaths in coal mines rival the toll of a war:

Washington Kept Outside the Magic Circle
Like their colonialist ancestors, the U.K.'s Magic Circle firms have spread around the world, jointly employing more than 10,000 lawyers and grossing more than $5 billion last year. But the London giants are struggling to figure out the U.S. market. Emblematic of the struggle is that, while most of the big London firms have New York offices, only Freshfields and Clifford Chance have ventured into Washington, despite the District's reputation as a lawyer's paradise. One has to wonder: What's wrong with D.C.?
Plaintiffs Attorneys Think Globally, Act Locally in Financial Privacy Cases
In suits against Costco, In-N-Out Burger and dozens of other chains, class action lawyers are trying to show that companies broke financial privacy laws by putting too much bank card information on sales receipts. But since a federal judge refused to certify a class of Cost Plus customers in May, plaintiffs have met the same fate in several similar cases across the country. Now, instead of trying to represent a nationwide class, plaintiffs attorneys are focusing on claims that arise from only a few stores.
Bloggers Fan the Fury Over Hairstyle Advice to Cleary's African-American Lawyers
Geeky Wall Street law firms don't usually make the style pages. But Cleary Gottlieb has recently become a fixture on at least a dozen hipster blogs, all commenting on a summer women's luncheon the firm held and where a magazine editor advised black lawyers to avoid Afros and dreadlocks. Judging by the traffic on the blogs, that fury has spilled well beyond the halls of Cleary Gottlieb.
Small Firm's Lawyers Not Waiting for Wal-Mart Fees
The $172 million Wal-Mart meal-break verdict won by The Furth Firm in 2005 ranks among the top 10 verdicts nationally, but few of the lawyers will be around to celebrate if and when the money arrives. A number of them have left the San Francisco-based firm, and none appear to have any guarantee of sharing in the eventual proceeds. Founder Frederick Furth, the sole owner of the firm, says salaries and bonuses are paid at his discretion, and no written compensation agreements exist for any cases.
3rd Circuit Slashes Punitive Damages Award
A jury award of $30 million in punitive damages that was slashed to $2 million by a trial judge has been slashed again, to $750,000, by the 3rd Circuit on the grounds that a punitive award 18 times greater than the compensatory damages is unconstitutionally excessive. Third Circuit Judge Kent A. Jordan focused on two "guideposts" that the U.S. Supreme Court has instructed judges to consider when asked to reduce a punitive award: "degree of reprehensibility" and "disparity between the harm and the award."
Susman Godfrey Sued Over Alleged Fraud, Conspiracy
The arbitration process is supposed to make short order of endless, messy litigation. But a recent case filed in the Northern District of Texas shows that a dispute can become endless and messy precisely because of arbitration. Positive Software and its CEO allege that the defendants -- including Susman Godfrey and two firm partners -- engaged in fraud and civil conspiracy by knowingly withholding evidence and offering false testimony during a 2004 arbitration hearing in a software ownership dispute.
N.Y. Appellate Panel Finds Dead Man's Law Applies in Disciplinary Matter
A Manhattan lawyer has been suspended for two years for withdrawing from an escrow account money he said his deceased client pledged to him as payment for a decade of free legal work. The panel determined the lawyer was precluded from relying on his own testimony about the supposed agreement by the Dead Man's Statute, which bars an interested party from testifying about verbal promises by a dead or incapacitated person. But the court said the lawyer's account could still be used to mitigate his penalty.
2nd Circuit Rules on Latest Post-'Booker' Issue
District courts are not required to give notice before imposing a sentence outside the guidelines range for violations of conditions of supervised release, the 2nd Circuit has ruled. The court said that a judge imposing such sentence need not give notice or afford the defendant an opportunity to challenge the sentence because supervised release is governed by non-binding policy statements. The issue is the latest to arise from the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case .
Shearman Boosts Abu Dhabi Team With Fulbright Hire
Shearman & Sterling has expanded its Abu Dhabi projects team with the hire of a partner from rival firm Fulbright & Jaworski. Mathew Kidwell, who focuses on the oil and gas sector and has experience across all aspects of the petroleum industry, will become the third Shearman partner in Abu Dhabi, where the firm has had a presence since 1975.
Criminal Contempt Charges Dismissed Against Lawyer
New York-area attorney Larry Bronson, who allegedly hosted meetings for organized crime figures under court order not to associate with each other and assisted a client to violate the terms of his pretrial release by misrepresenting his whereabouts, cannot be charged with criminal contempt of court, a Brooklyn, N.Y., judge has held. However, an Eastern District judge allowed the two most serious charges against Bronson -- participating in racketeering and money-laundering conspiracies -- to go forward.
Holland & Knight Scholarship to Provide Tuition, Summer Associate Job
Holland & Knight has endowed a scholarship for second-year students at Florida A&M University's law school that will cover full tuition and guarantee the recipient a summer associate position with the firm. This year, the scholarship will pay $7,178 of the in-state tuition for a student Holland selects from the historically black university. "We hope this will give us a broader pool of lawyers to choose from to meet our goal in having a diverse law firm," partner Martha Barnett said.
Louisiana College to Create a Christian Law School
Louisiana College plans to establish a 1,000-student law school in Pineville with a "biblical worldview" that aims to train defenders of conservative Christian values. The college expects to enroll up to 40 students in 2009, building up to 300 students. The school, which could cost more than $15 million, will seek accreditation from the American Bar Association and will be named for Judge Paul Pressler, a leader in the conservative takeover of the Southern Baptist Convention over the last few decades.
