A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

A VISION CAPACIOUS AND CONVINCING: Given the demographic of this site, we probably ought to note that Prof. Laurence Tribe, arguably America's leading scholar on Constitutional Law, has apparently been diagnosed with a (benign) brain tumor. Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with his views, Tribe's work has unquestionably been deeply significant. Among his contributions (according to Wikipedia):

• Invention of the "flow" system for note-taking/argument construction in competitive debate.
• 34 Supreme Court arguments, 27 Circuit arguments--memorable cases include Bowers v. Hardwick, Rust v. Sullivan, Bush v. Gore, and Times v. Tasini.
• His monumental treatise American Constitutional Law, important enough for Justice Breyer to inquire about when the next revision is coming out.

I'm sure all of us here join in wishing Prof. Tribe a speedy and full recovery.
