Willibanks is a *fantastic* last name.

"You should keep [these dates] in mind because when [Oliver Wendell] Holmes said 'upon this point, a page of history is worth a volume of logic,' he might as well have been referring to a modern-day law school course in estate and gift taxation as to the constitutionality of the 1916 statute."


it must be tough to write textbooks. it must be even tougher to go to a cocktail party with Ms. Willibanks, the author of that lovely little line.



I think that sentence would be more accurate if the Holmes quote was "well, you're the morons who signed up for it"
