I HAVEN’T WORKED THERE IN OVER 20 YEARS, and the firm I worked for, Dewey Ballantine, hasn’t really existed since the merger. But I still somehow find stories of the Dewey LeBoeuf unraveling sad. I’m not alone, though, as I was talking to a law school dean and fellow Dewey Ballantine alumn last summer and she said she was sad too, and wondered why, exactly, that is . . . . I worked with Alan Wolff, Clark McFadden, and Tom Howell, all mentioned in the story. I wish them well, wherever they land. Nice guys, and I learned a lot from them.
