Lawyer student.

I had a lawyer tonight in a private class at school. Learning he was a lawyer, I asked him what kind of law he practiced. Business, he told me, and so I learned he spends a lot of time writing contracts which have to be very well written with every conceivable occurrence covered. Criminal law, he said, is a terrible thing to get into. Verdicts are predetermined and the best efforts on the part of lawyers cannot change them.


Another student told me that buyers make a lot of money in China from kickbacks and that often the quality of products suffers.


Tony returns home tomorrow morning. He looked great tonight when I came to visit him.
