The Real Reason Cass Sunstein's Going to Harvard? He's Got the Power
We greatly enjoyed our recent visit to the University of Chicago Law School. The U. Chicago students were very welcoming and made us feel right at home, even inviting us to their law school musical — which, by the way, was delightful.
