Bradley, University of Illinois, College of Law "That whose soul is brevity has been bestowed on Hadley Arkes in abundance . . . . [The] founding fathers would recognize in Arkes a kindred spirit. Here erudition and common sense are combined and bad arguments get what they deserve. One is reminded of Aristotle's definition of wit--well-bred insolence."--Ralph McInerny, University of Notre Dame |
