Instapundit points us in the direction of Joseph Bottum’s First Things blog post yesterday; also Althouse’s comment:
[W]hile I was [at NYU Law School] I saw posters for a lecture this afternoon by Eugene Volokh on the structure of slippery-slope arguments. … the posters for Volokh’s talk read, as I remember: “Founder of The Volokh Conspiracy blog and Gary T. Schwartz Professor of Law at UCLA.”
I wonder how the Schwartz family feels about that. Indeed, I wonder how UCLA law school feels. For that matter, I wonder how I feel. Since when has even a blog as interesting as the The Volokh Conspiracy trumped, for a law-school audience, a chair at a major law school and all the speaker’s academic publications? A fascinating change in the culture of things.
Well, heck (and not speaking for Eugene), I feel pretty darn good as a coat-tails participant at VC!
