The [Wednesday] PapersMark Brown has another column for the Sun-Times today on the law clerk fired for pretending to be a judge who is just months ahead of actually becoming a judge, which I wrote about Tuesday. I just want to show you one part and remind you that it's 2016: Northwestern law professor Stephen Lubet, a judicial ethics expert who offered a fairly harsh assessment of the two women's conduct in my initial column on this subject, has since softened a bit. Now let me tweak that a bit: Northwestern law professor Stephen Lubet, a judicial ethics expert who offered a fairly harsh assessment of the two women's conduct in my initial column on this subject, has since softened a bit. See the difference? I mean, readers might be wondering. * Also, maybe a phone call to Lubet to ask about his change of heart. * The Trib does this a lot too, in lieu of linking from the text of articles: The problem? The "Related" links are often not placed anywhere near the place that tells readers what it is referring to - the actual words in the text! It's like randomly sprinkling footnotes throughout an article. And that system only really allows for one, maybe two, links. It's a newspaper convention - For more, see Page 3! Finally, as I've written repeatedly for more than a decade, using links in one's work changes the narrative structure of that work, and thus the writer's mindset when writing. For the better, I might add. Way better. * In other words, Brown and his colleagues are still writing for a newspaper instead of a website. It's collective slow-motion suicide, a profession stubbornly gorging on cyanide day after day after day while the antidote sits on the shelf. * It's so depressing having to address these basics at this late juncture in the game. But that's where we're (still) at. No-Show Boats Did they burn all the boats or something? I seem to remember something like that. * Best Venetian Night boat ever. * Meanwhile, Venetian Night was a success last weekend in Watertown, Wisconsin, but you need a subscription to read about it. - Teen Concussion Rate Rising Significantly - BeachBook Obamacare Is Faltering For One Simple Reason: Profit. * Checking The Math On The Pentagon's ISIS Body Counts. * Illinois Sues Controversial Drug Maker Over Deceptive Marketing Practices. * 'We Are Chicago' Trailer. - TweetWood
