Unfortunately, we don’t remember as much from the book as we might like. (Our memory problems, as well as our typing skills, have […] -

Why Do We Love the New York Observer So Much?

Sullivan & Cromwell v. Charney: Some Thoughts on the S&C Complaint (Part 2)
This post picks up where our last one left off, in a page-by-page review of Sullivan & Cromwell’s Complaint (PDF) in S&C v. Charney. Our earlier thoughts are available here.
