Friends--

These reactions are very welcome indeed...

Linda--Thanks so much. I enjoyed chatting with him about his career and the Law as we worked, and I guess that came through.

Alex--I never much felt on thin ice with it, but it's nice to know it all works okay. Thanks again for a great weekend--I learned a lot.

Sharon--This is terrific validation...I was feeling it could be a personal best, even in the middle of the work. So I slowed down and tried to absorb what I was learning. Thank God they didn't insist on a flag, but even with the lawbooks, which are notoriously busy and gaudy on the spines, I edited the detail to the bare essentials and shoved them way down into the shadows.

As to the space--I looked at DeCamp's public portraits frequently. He really let things breathe.
