About a month ago we admitted to pilfering an idea from an in-house lawyer friend. We didn't name names, but we described her as "brilliant and exceedingly well-dressed." Since that post appeared, we've received heaps of emails from friends asking us to admit that we were, in fact, talking about them. The same thing must have happened after Carly Simon's "You're So Vain" song hit the Top 40 in 1972-73. She probably got calls from all the most eligible glamour-boys (Hefner, Beatty, Jagger, Bexis) seeking confirmation that they had inspired the lyrics.

Recently another in-house lawyer, who is also brilliant, sartorially splendid, and relentlessly thoughtful, brought something interesting to our attention: the Chamber of Commerce's June 23 letter to the Office of Inspector General about the threatened debarment of the Forest Labs CEO. Here is a link to the Chamber of Commerce letter.
