Turow’s One L, or even Alex Wellen’s Barman will be nothing in comparison.

I made reference to this in a report to the Executive Council I was asked to write, mentioning self-publishing as a way of documenting the oral tradition and skeletal institutional memory there. One of the recipients forwarded on to a member of the Board of Regents, since he is an alumnus. But as fate would have it, he’ll be leaving that post to run Delta Air Lines.
