Three Articles

Although I am somewhat removed from the Bay Area these days, I enjoyed these recent Berkeley/Boalt articles:

1. Esquire's full JY piece -- nuanced and interesting look at who JY is. Also has some rather charming transcriptions of professor/student dialogue, as perceived by a non-law-school-type. Worth the read, if not for those reasons, then for the context it helps give your answers to the increasingly tiresome "don't you go to school with that Bush torture guy?" questions
2. New Yorker tree sitter piece (courtesy of anon, in the thread below) -- nice illustration of absurdities on both sides of the "fresh" tree sitting shenanigans
3. Discussion of Obama strategy vis-à-vis Hillary -- based almost entirely on an interview with "top Obama advisor" -- DE
   

I hope everyone is having a nice summer. I am.

Update: No, Obama's advisor is NOT the person featured in Eqsuire. I have fixed the misplaced links.
