Your December 2006 Couple of the Month
For the second month in a row, ATL’s “Couple of the Month” contest was a total snoozefest. Once again, the winning couple prevailed with approximately 50 percent of the vote. Unlike certain past races, there was no exciting, eleventh-hour victory by an underdog. There was a last minute surge by Sandee Brawarsky and Barry Lichtenberg. […] -

In our report earlier today about Supreme Courtships, a forthcoming television show about “the personal and professional lives of six Supreme Court clerks and their supervisors,” we looked back on two failed TV shows about the Supreme Court: “First Monday” and “The Court.” We wrote: Judicial groupies were thrilled to see two shows about the […] -

They focused on the weighty issues presented to the Court, as well as the interpersonal relationships between the justices and the law clerks. Judicial groupies were […]

Who Will Fill Harriet Miers's Size Six Shoes?
President Bush famously described Harriet E. Miers, the outgoing White House counsel, as “a pit bull in size six shoes.” Woof woof! But some White House insiders viewed Harriet Miers as insufficiently canine.
