		<description><![CDATA[Knisely&#8217;s Second Law states that “In theory, there&#8217;s no difference between theory and practice, but in practice there is!” My First Law states “Anything that exists is possible.”
Both laws are relevant to how Americans are treated by our legal system in the wake of the Supreme Court&#8217;s decision in the Gideon case, and why I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ “The Din of Inequity” – a presentation at my Harvard 40th Reunion.
About a week or so before my Harvard 40th Reunion in September, 2002, I got a request from Harvard to participate in a symposium on the first day. The title was to be &#8220;The Influence of Money &#8212; Personal and Corporate &#8212; on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every five years, Harvard offers its alumni an opportunity to write “a little something” addressed to the other members of his class and see it published. (And yes, by now alumnae and “her” class are included, but I graduated in 1962.) In 1992 the Thirtieth Anniversary Report from our class included the following two paragraphs [...]]]></description>
