HOW DID I MISS THIS? David Baron: The Cougar Behind Your Trash Can. Anybody who wants to kick me off the apex of the food chain had better be prepared to wind up as a rug.

Nonetheless, David Baron has been ahead of the curve on this one. I had mentioned his terrific book earlier this morning, but I didn’t know about the oped from Thursday until reader Robert Schwartz sent me the link just now. Thanks! In my defense, I’ve been at a legal conference this week: Just spoke this morning to a bunch of deans about the higher education bubble as it applies to legal education.
