This is my favorite paragraph:
It’s a noteworthy shift for the legal profession, whose denizens like to think of themselves as intellectual types—and view their Wall Street cousins as money-obsessed philistines. Many angst-filled attorneys suspect they should have gone into something more tweedy and creative than relocating commas within merger agreements. As Clarence Darrow said, “Inside every lawyer is the wreck of a poet.”
Word.

and this is why I come here - great read.
I'm glad someone else likes to read the same stuff I do.
I really like that Darrow quote, and at least in my case, it's quite true -- "the wreck of a poet", indeed. Nowadays, though, I think that it's only half accurate -- the other half are wannabe i-bankers with too much aversion to risk.
