The track features the voice of US-born gay indie alt-country artist Jon Campbell in duet with Jamie Irrepressible. The video is directed by award-winning Cypriot film maker Savvas Stravou ( savvaspictures.com )

The Punisher as Medieval Romance: Tropes, Themes, and Characters

So a few days ago, an anon asked about more mythologies/inspirations for Kastle, apart from Hades/Persephone, and I mentioned that Frank’s character and his overall story arc have substantial (and fascinating) parallels with medieval romances. I was just answering quickly, but I then started to think about it in more depth, and realized that in fact, damn near all of The Punisher can be read as a modern-day medieval romance, sometimes subverting long-established tropes and sometimes playing them almost straight. This extends into Daredevil canon as well, as the characters around Frank also fit into recognizable mythic-medieval roles, and… yes. I resisted writing a long and research-heavy meta, clearly what I needed to do on the last week of term, for oh, forty-eight hours. Then, well, we know how that goes.

A note that I work specifically on medieval history, rather than medieval literature, so if I say anything clangingly bad, I hope my brethren and sistren medievalists can forgive me for it. Also, I don’t know if any of this is intentional on the part of the writers, so it’s not like I am identifying anything they’re specifically doing (or if they are, I don’t know about it), but this is just me, as a nerd, wandering into the candy store and being like “OH HEY GUYS LOOK AT THIS.” Of course, not all the examples fit in every aspect between medieval romance and modern Marvel canon, but there are still enough of them in a number of ways to make this interpretation plausible. And indeed, considering how Marvel stories have become ubiquitously embedded in our popular lexicon almost exactly in the way Arthurian legends and stories did for their medieval equivalent, it’s a noteworthy comparison.

(As you may be able to guess, this will be long.)

Let’s start with the source material. The medieval Arthurian romances are part of what is known as the Matter of Britain: the vast corpus of texts, written and rewritten across several centuries and by countless authors (usually French or English) that deals with some aspect of this mythology. Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot, Merlin, the Knights of the Round Table, and other characters appear in various guises and playing different roles in each of these texts. They are still “themselves” on each appearance, but the interpretation and the storyline is largely up to each individual author. One may remark that this bears some similarities with the Marvel comic universe. The characters have been written and re-written in a vast array of formats from their first creation to their present modern iteration (and likewise, Hollywood is still making a King Arthur movie every other year). They have been interpreted by many authors and given different plots and re-imaginings, and are part of our collective pop-culture reference in the way that Arthurian romance and chivalric literature was in the medieval era. If Twitter had existed back then, we would have fans begging for Arthur Pendragon to be saved from Camlann the way we now have fans begging NASA to save Tony Stark. It’s a kind of cultural entertainment that you’re probably at least aware of, even if you’ve never participated in, and thus has reached similar levels of saturation. The Arthurian romances inspired endless knock-offs. We likewise have an omnipresent superhero genre. It reinvents and redefines the hero’s journey for its particular day and age on a massive scale. In some sense, we don’t even need to explain these characters or tropes, because everyone already knows who and what they are.

So… onto Frank. At first glance, he is a considerably unlikely medieval romantic hero, right? He’s rough around the edges, has (to say the least) grey morality, and is generally regarded as an outcast and a loner in his community, rather than some idealized, flawless Sir Galahad type who has never done anything wrong in his life and nobly avoids all temptation. But he’s actually a hero in the middle of his trials and tribulations and the corresponding loss (and eventual reaffirmation) of heroic identity. The broad strokes of Frank’s character arc, as seen in Daredevil season 2 and Punisher season 1, are these:

Separation from home and family;

Exile from society and the implied loss of chivalric (military) virtue;

Test of honor/contests against other knights, good and bad (Matt Murdock, Wilson Fisk, Lewis Wilson, etc);

Search for the Grail (life, restoration to honor, vengeance for his family, completion of the chivalric quest);

Partnership with worthy knights on the search (David Lieberman, Curtis Hoyle);

Resisting temptation from a knight’s wife (Sarah Lieberman);

Saving a fair maiden and having to be worthy of her love, while bound by a code of secrecy (Karen Page);

Confrontation of betrayal by an intimate/revelation of the dark side of chivalric honor (Billy Russo);

Menaced by a quasi-mythical and possibly demonic figure who must be defeated, who fights him in a parallel battle at the beginning/end of the story (Agent Orange/Rawlins);

Attempt to re-enter society and re-establish identity (end of s1, though that will be once more disrupted and complicated by s2);

All of this is, basically, the overall character arc for a medieval hero. Pretty much beat by beat. Also, while we’ve gotten used to think of ‘chivalry’ as implying a certain kind of idealized and virtuous behavior around ladies (holding doors, gentlemanly actions, whatever) that was only a small part of the overall code of chivalry – which, at its core, was an ethos about fighting, military prowess, and the display of valor through acts of war. Frank says that he loves being a soldier, and this would be a sentiment familiar to a medieval knight. Chrétien de Troyes has a line about how, essentially, only morally suspect half-men prefer peace. The soldier’s proper right, duty, and true joy in life is the practice of war, and he earns chivalry – martial renown – by doing it. It is not merely a pretty or romantic veneer on courtly behavior (though that is often how it is presented), but about war, the military, the destruction of opponents, and the very nature of being a constant soldier. To say the least, this fits Frank’s character extremely well. He is the consummate soldier who in fact needs a constant war to fight, and who has built an honorable legacy for himself (decorated Marine, Navy Cross, etc) prior to his forcible separation from society. This darker, grittier underside of chivalry, when the violence, bloodshed, and distortion of self was a constant concern, also fits very well with the tone of The Punisher.

That separation is often the keystone for a medieval hero’s journey, and functions to drive him out from the context in which he has until now been respected and earned his living. Sometimes we have an outright reason for that action, sometimes the hero just leaves Camelot and sets out on a quest, but Frank’s separation from society bears some similarity to Bisclavret, a twelfth-century werewolf romance written by a woman (Marie de France), and interesting for various reasons. (Some literature is available via Google Books.) In this case, the hero (the eponymous Bisclavret) is driven from society by the treachery of his wife, who hides his clothes so he can’t turn back from a wolf into a human and is forced to spend seven years in the forest as a beast. Of course Frank loses his wife, rather than being betrayed by her, but there’s still the connection between loss of wife – loss of home – loss of self, resulting in exile to the margins of society and transformation into a “monster.” Bisclavret never gives up his principles and identity even while forced to remain a wolf, and Frank gains a reputation as the “Punisher,” but likewise adheres to his own code of honor. He remains a knight, even if a knight-errant.

Bisclavret is rescued and brought back from the woods by an unnamed king, who sees his humanity and treats him well even as a monster (and yes, there are some definite homoerotic undertones in the fact that it’s the king’s love that restores him to himself, after his wife rejects him for his monsterhood or arguably, queerness). However, you could credibly parallel this to Frank and David Lieberman, who believes that he can help Frank and they can restore him to his former self/his good name. David of course physically helps Curtis care for Frank after his injuries in TP 1x05, and in general performs the humanizing role for the “monster.” He serves as Frank’s companion in the wilderness and believes that he is not the way the rest of society sees him (just as everyone else in Bisclavret sees him as a werewolf and has to be convinced by his good behavior that he’s really a man). Likewise, Karen recognizes early in Daredevil season 2, and never gives up in believing, that Frank still has honor. He’s (literally) not a monster to her. He has been expelled from the chivalric society in which he operated before, but he has not completely abandoned his morality.

Next, as noted, the motif of contests against other knights is essentially a central theme in all quest narratives. Frank must match his wits and skills against challengers, and be paralleled and anti-paralleled to them. One of his most obvious foils is against Matt, as they are explicitly set up as reflections and reverse images of each other. In some sense, Matt is the perfect chivalric knight, at least in DD s1/s2. His morality tends to the black and white, he always has some sense of how his faith informs or restricts his actions, and he constantly incorporates the church’s teaching into his sense of self. As Richard Kaeuper discusses in Holy Warriors: The Religious Ideology of Chivalry, this is basically exactly what the medieval church would want for a knight. Some degree of coexistence (sometimes a great deal) exists between chivalry and Christianity, but the underlying question of violence and sin always underlies it – can a man who makes his living by killing people really claim to be acting in a holy cause? Matt avoids this paradox (or tries to) by not killing anyone, but Frank almost exactly embodies the tension between these two ideologies that was ever-present in the medieval era. Clerical moralists always worried that knights were too comfortable with killing, violence, and general unethical behavior (even as they needed and co-opted that violence for their own purposes, such as the preaching and popularization of the crusades). For their part, the knights often selectively used the parts of Christianity that they liked, and fashioned it into their own ethos, just like Frank does to justify his campaign of vengeance.

In other words, Matt and Frank are perfect symbols of the struggle between church and chivalry, with Matt embodying one side (reconciliation) and Frank embodying the other (estrangement), but neither of them are completely excluded from knighthood despite their differences. They’re in fact the central tension of its existence – how violent can a knight be, and how much consideration, superficial or otherwise, does he have to pay to the church’s restriction of his ethics and behavior? There is some argument that chivalric literature was written as an attempted correction or moral instruction for real-life knights, who were supposed to take it as guidance on their own behavior and be more merciful. This isn’t always the case, since as noted, the literature exalts the very kind of violent behavior that built a chivalric reputation, but there was always that inherent wariness about how much was too much. Matt and Frank push and pull each other on this very question, end up working together at points because they are both within the system, but can’t fully reconcile.

(Also I’d like to point out: Stick, Matt, and Elektra as Merlin, Arthur, and Morgana. Stick is the mysterious, possibly immortal mentor, who teaches and mentors both of them, but also misleads and manipulates them for his own purposes. Matt becomes the ‘hero,’ son of the dead/fallen king (Uther Pendragon/Battlin’ Jack Murdock), while Elektra becomes the villainess/feared sorceress, marginalized by a society frightened of her agency and unwillingness to play nice. Also, one of Arthur’s two half-sisters, usually Morgause but sometimes Morgana, is the mother of his illegitimate son, Mordred, who is prophesied to be his destruction. So there is a dark/forbidden/taboo sexual aspect to their relationship, and just as Mordred causes the ultimate fall of Camelot, Matt and Elektra are literally caught in a falling building at the end of Defenders, which destroys their current identities. Matt enters Once and Future King stage after that and at the beginning of DDS3, where he is ‘gone’ or sleeping or suffering a crisis of faith and must summon up the wherewithal to return, and the character of Benjamin Poindexter becomes one of the many Arthur imposters. There are also some parallels for Elektra with Nimue, the ambitious young student of Merlin’s who overthrows him, ends his reign, and imprisons him in a tree.)

Anyway, back to Frank. So what are knights actually doing with all this questing? Well, various things, but they’re most often searching for the Holy Grail: symbolic of eternal life, forgiveness and atonement of sins, return to self. For this reason, few of them actually find it or are able to encounter it without being changed. It too has a deeply underlying Christian context, and Frank, the ex-Catholic, has been estranged from his belief but not separated entirely. (Likewise, if you were not worthy to look on it, you could be blinded, so… the fact that Matt himself is blind is arguably a commentary on who he actually is vs. how he imagines himself.) The Grail is also, interestingly, in the custody of a figure known as the Fisher King. He is the keeper of the castle where the Grail is hidden, and in the context of the Punisher, he’s basically Curtis.

The Fisher King, for a start, is always wounded in the legs or the thigh, and unable to stand. Some scholars have interpreted this as a metaphor for castration (since “thigh” is often a euphemism for the genitals), and that the Fisher King is passive and impotent because he is physically unable to perform warfare and thus to acquire chivalry. Either way, the Fisher King is the keeper of eternal life, but is physically disabled and needs the help of a knight to activate that power. Curtis is to some degree a subversion of this trope, because he is explicitly not helpless and functions to enable other questing knights (veterans with PTSD) to search for the Grail (health and reconciliation to society)… but in TP 1x09, he still needs Frank to save him. Frank has to encounter the Fisher King and make the correct choice/ask the right question (which wire to cut) to save him and continue his own path toward the Grail. Curtis, by running the veterans’ group, is symbolically the keeper of eternal life, where questers have to literally ask questions/talk to each other to restore themselves, and Frank, by going at the end of s1, is still trying to reach it. But true to form, with the beginning of s2, he’s not going to be able to entirely get there. There is still another obstacle/quest to overcome.

So what about Karen? Visually and to some degree topically, she is set up as the lady whose love Frank needs to obtain and maintain, even in the wilderness of his exile. Karen is blonde-haired and blue-eyed, which was often viewed in the medieval era as the ideal/most beautiful kind of woman (because white supremacy in Europe has always existed to some degree, even if in differently constructed ways. However, the thirteenth-century Dutch romance Morien, and some other ones, feature black and mixed-race protagonists, who are just as able to achieve the predicates of the heroic quest as others). She is also, as discussed above, one of the only people to believe in Frank’s honor and to reach out to help him. However, this relationship has to be kept secret, and has the potential to destroy them both if revealed. This is a fairly close parallel to another of Marie de France’s romances: Lanval (adopted in fourteenth-century English form, by Thomas Chestre, as Sir Launfal).

In brief, Sir Lanval, after being cast out from Camelot, meets a fairy woman and they become lovers, and she promises him that he will have everything he needs, as long as he keeps her secret and never mentions her to anyone. (Marie’s original version of this is much less misogynist than Chestre’s, which adds Guinevere making sexual advances to Launfal and her jealousy being the cause of him being thrown out, so yes, Dudes Ruining Stuff has a long history.) This is not an exact analogue to Frank and Karen, but keeping the code of secrecy (Karen obviously can’t tell anyone about Frank, Frank receives what he needs from her in terms of information, emotional support, etc, but likewise can’t tell anyone about it) is paramount in both relationships. Speaking about the relationship or revealing it to the outside world will result in its destruction, and the fairy lady has to vouch for Lanval’s goodness to the court in Camelot, just as Karen stoutly defends Frank to the court of public opinion/literally everyone. In some sense, while the knight has to rescue the fair maiden, the fair maiden is also the arbitrator of his fate and his overall reputation. (Also, all of TP 1x10 is basically Lancelot, the Knight of the Cart, in which Lancelot must rescue the abducted Guinevere from Meleagant, and having to struggle with the revelation of this relationship and the fact they can’t be together and the dictates of public/proper behavior. Anyway.)

Lastly, Frank’s initial and final conflicts, and the overall shape of his quest, are dictated by his encounters with two archvillains: Billy Russo and William Rawlins, or “Agent Orange.” These are made especially painful for him by the fact that they are or were both close to him. Billy was his best friend, essentially part of his family, and as noted, there is a major theme in chivalric literature revolving around a betrayal (and subsequent murder) by those closest to you. We already discussed King Arthur being overthrown and killed by his incestuous illegitimate son, Mordred; the best-known version of that tale is of course Thomas Malory’s Le Morte d’Arthur, though only the seventh book, as linked above, actually tells the story of Arthur’s death. There is also Arthur’s half-sister and Mordred’s usual mother Queen Morgause; in the Morte, she is killed by her son Gaheris for committing adultery with Sir Lamorak and dishonoring her husband, King Lot. So in one sense, the knight is always doomed to face a betrayal from within his family, or from a close friend.

However, Billy Russo is also straight-up one of the demon knights of Perlesvaus, or, The High History of the Holy Grail. In Perlesvaus, Lancelot is haunted by the specter of these demon knights, who engage in a dark mockery of chivalric behavior, excesses of violence, and satanic imagery, and are otherwise the “dark side of the force” of honorable knighthood, as Richard Kaeuper puts it in Chivalry and Violence in Medieval Europe. Honor and chivalry are not permanent or unchangeable qualities, and in fact are very fragile. The perfect knight can and should have both of these, but he can also lose them very quickly by impious, dishonorable, murderous, or otherwise wrong actions. The demon knights are a metaphor and a commentary on the same tension we discussed in regard to Frank and Matt: when does a knight-errant become a bad knight? When does his behavior permanently transgress him and cast him beyond the reach of repentance? Billy outwardly embodies the same qualities as Frank, has been through the same wars, is part of the same order, but he isn’t a hero on a quest whose chivalric identity can eventually be reconciled to him. He has crossed too far to the wrong side of the line; now he is the embodiment of evil, a shadow parallel and a cautionary tale. He is not a knight-errant, he is merely a monster.

Then, of course, there’s Rawlins/Agent Orange. Noting the fact that his nickname is also color-coded, we can see some parallels to Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. In short, in this tale, a mysterious “Green Knight” challenges any man to strike him, with the condition that he will get to return the blow in a year and a day. Sir Gawain accepts and beheads him, after which the Green Knight stands up, picks up his head, and remains Gawain of his promise. Gawain has to struggle to both honorably keep his bargain and avoid dying, and is eventually struck at in return by the Green Knight, wounded, but not killed. In some interpretations, this has just been a test all along for Gawain to prove his honor, or an attempt by Morgana to deceive him and cause him to betray his chivalric ideals, and the Green Knight is just a pawn to achieve this. In others, the Green Knight is a potential embodiment of the Devil. (He also has a dual identity, as the Green Knight/Sir Bertilak, as Rawlins does.) Frank strikes at/beheads/blinds Rawlins, as seen in the flashbacks of TP 1x03, so Rawlins literally wants to do the same to him (an eye for an eye) in TP 1x12. In the story, Gawain and the Green Knight part on cordial terms, but in this case, Frank has to actually complete the death/destruction of his opponent. Like Gawain, however, he is wounded but not killed, and must find some way to survive his encounter with a possibly demonic entity determined to pay back in exact measure the physical wound/symbolic beheading inflicted earlier.

So. . . yes. Overall, both in the broad parameters of his character arc, in the obstacles he confronts, and the other people he meets and the encounters he plays out with them, Frank is actually an excellent hero for a modern-medieval romance. The essential core of the medieval romance was not about love, though that was often present, but about identity, adventure, and the challenge to self, and while in some places these tropes have been updated or nuanced or subverted, in others they’re played as recognizably or directly descended from their medieval counterparts, and the way in which we have thought about stories and enjoyed them for a very long time.

Behind an anonymous, unimposing warehouse facade in the Sydney suburb of Rosebery lies the home of one of Australia’s most prolific public artists. Although you might not have heard his name before, David Humphries is a bit of a living legend! Entering his home is like stumbling into Aladdin’s cave glittering with crystals, or taking the lens cap off a telescope to reveal a star-studded night sky.

‘I like that passers by have no inkling as to what’s behind my door, unless they are invited in,’ David remarks. He shares the Sydney home he has been living in for over 25 years with his partner Masou Nodoust.

David’s truly epic career was most prolific through the ’80s and ’90s, where his distinct terrazzo designs sprawled across the floors of cathedrals, memorials, shopping centres, retail complexes and casinos. His company, Public Art Squad, made large-scale public art pieces for institutions like the National Maritime Museum and Olympic Walk, as well as the entrance hall floor of the Fashion and Textile Museum in London. David even crafted the terrazzo installation at Melbourne’s Bourke Street Mall tramway zone!

After returning from New York – where he had lived in many loft-style studios in the ‘70s – David had his antennas up for his own warehouse. ‘I found this one by accident on Christmas Eve in 1995, and pounced on it immediately,’ he recalls. At the time, it was an industrial space, an ex-storage facility for an events management company. Despite the international acclaim his work garnered, David’s piece-de-resistance is the 9x15m concrete slab floor in his own home, atop which sits a 40cm-deep terrazzo artwork. Marble eyes, glittering stars, and fluid, iridescent orbs float across surface, resembling a sea-floor filled with creatures, coral and hidden treasure.

‘The interiors of this warehouse are a chatter of energy, vibrating creativity to the household like a tree full of cicadas,’ David says. Each room in the 400square metre space points towards the indoor garden, and sports its own type of terrazzo to match its personality. The bathroom floor is inky and black, studded with crystalline stars and wiggly supernovas; while the art-filled gallery walkway is a vibrant, multicoloured checkerboard.

Beyond the terrazzo, this loft residence boasts 12m high walls, polished concrete floors, a library, a media den, a custom built koi (fish!) pond, an exuberant art collection, a second indoor courtyard and a marble sheathed bathroom. The old loading dock is now a flexible studio space where David creates paintings, mosaics and terrazzo pieces, while also doubling as a gallery and photo shoot location.

‘The design of the space is simple and fluid, it’s easily adaptable and can be changed to fit the needs and uses of a variety of projects,’ says David of his multifunctional home. ‘Most of the furniture is on wheels, and plants are in pots so they can easily be moved. The view from above is great for designing floor works, photo shoots or watching parties in the studio below.’ The soft and ever-changing light is perfect for making art, and a lot of work has gone into making the house eco-friendly, with a full roof of solar panels, a worm farm and double brick wall for insulation!

Ceiling-to-floor cedar and glass sliding doors partition the mezzanine space from the studio void, which David calls his ‘secret garden of exotica’. The garden is a living organism, where ‘gentle air currents and ions from the pond cross-ventilate the space and create an energy that nurtures plants, our life and creativity,’ David explains poetically.

Though Public Art Squad is still in operation under Masou’s direction, these days David has taken a step back from crafting terrazzo pieces himself. ‘We keep within our capabilities, but I’m not up to the physical yakka of the good old days. I am no longer Peter Pan.’

We are truly blown away discovering David’s work and home, and hope you feel the magic, too!

The Man Behind Your Favorite Fashion Shows Is Going Green

VALENSOLE, FRANCE – JUNE 24: A model walks the runway during the Jacquemus Menswear Spring Summer 2020 show on June 24, 2019 in Valensole, France. (Photo by Arnold Jerocki/WireImage)

Rodarte’s acclaimed fall ‘20 collection was presented amidst a sea of flowers in St. Bartholomew’s Church, a Romanesque building on Park Avenue in Manhattan. The Tommy Hilfiger x Lewis Hamilton show turned the Tate Modern in London into a convincing hip-hop rave. Jacquemus held its spring ‘20 show smack-dab in the middle of a lavender field show in Provençe. Saint Laurent entertained showgoers with an Eiffel Tower-facing spring ‘20 show at Place du Trocadéro. Dior’s 2016 cruise show was hosted at “Palais Bulles,” the mid-century bubble house designed by renowned architect Antti Lovag.

There are certain fashion shows that are truly transportive, and it takes a master producer and set designer like Alexandre de Betak, and his team at Bureau Betak, to envision — and then execute — a ten-minute program that’ll have a lasting effect on people.

As a creative leader in the space, de Betak’s latest announcement may influence the industry in a different way. This morning, Business of Fashion released Bureau Betak’s ‘10 Commandments,’ a list of rules and regulations that the company will be following in an effort to reduce its carbon footprint.

In it, Bureau Betak promised to reuse materials, upcycle decor and set materials, eliminate the use of single-use plastic, incorporate water stations to cut down on single-use bottles, and provide responsible meals to minimize food waste. Crucially, de Betak has committed to reduce fossil fuel use by cutting down on non-essential travel and implementing an operational carbon compensation to PUR Project, which might mean a challenge to the industry’s tradition of hosting exotic destination shows. Additionally, de Betak is imposing a “1% Percent for the Planet” donation, which will give 1% of the company’s revenue to a non-profit organization in need.

Today, we announce that we will be the first significant agency worldwide specializing in the fashion luxury sector to receive ISO 20121 certification for sustainable event management. This means that every fashion show, exhibition and event overseen by Bureau Betak’s offices in New York, Paris and Shanghai will be conceived and executed with a commitment to the best practices of reducing environmental impact across the entire supply chain and production. Thank you @bof, @imranahmed and @sarahkentnews for the feature and support on this new announcement! Link in bio for the full article. #businessoffashion #pfw #sustainableevents #greenproduction #bureaubetak

A post shared by Bureau Betak (@bureaubetak) on Feb 24, 2020 at 11:29pm PST

De Betak was initially inspired to make this change after he realized just how sustainable the spring ‘20 Jacquemus was. “It was absolutely as low impact as can be,” de Betak told Business of Fashion. Using natural sunlight and easy-to-transport folding chairs, the show also mostly invited guests from Paris, rather than those from across the globe, which cut down on travel-based carbon emissions. “We really hoped it would help every designer and brand see you can do it like that,” de Betak said.

On top of the Commandments, de Betak is working to get certified for the International Organization for Standardization’s sustainable event management standard, which will require that his company follow a strict plan to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 25% by 2022, among other guidelines.

While de Betak might be the first runway producer to integrate sustainability pledges into his business, climate-focused initiatives are happening across the industry. Copenhagen Fashion Week released its sustainability action plan, a commitment that promises a 50% reduction in carbon footprint by 2022, and plans to develop digital solutions to minimize travel. Following Copenhagen’s lead, designer Richard Malone outlined his own sustainable objections via his runway show in London.

Said de Betak, “I’ve worked all my life doing something that’s not good, but that’s behind me, and now I can use that to do good.”

Like what you see? How about some more R29 goodness, right here?

Digital burnout leads to a resurgence of vintage typewriters

Russell Contreras, AP, June 15, 2017

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.--Typewriter enthusiasts gather at an Albuquerque restaurant to experiment with vintage Smith Coronas. Fans in Boston kneel in a city square and type stories about their lives during a pro-immigration demonstration. A documentary on typewriters featuring Tom Hanks and musician John Mayer is set for release this summer.

In the age of smartphones, social media, and hacking fears, vintage typewriters that once gathered dust in attics and basements are attracting a new generation of fans across the United States.

From public “type-ins” at bars to street poets selling personalized, typewritten poems on the spot, typewriters have emerged as popular items with aficionados hunting for them in thrift stores, online auction sites, and antique shops. Some buy antique Underwoods to add to a growing collection. Others search for a midcentury Royal Quiet De Luxe--like a model author Ernest Hemingway used--to work on that simmering novel.

The rescued machines often need servicing, leading fans to seek out the few remaining typewriter repair shops.

“I haven’t seen business like this in years,” said John Lewis, a typewriter repairman who has operated out of his Albuquerque shop for four decades. “There’s definitely a new interest, and it’s keeping me very busy.”

Renewed interest began around 10 years ago when small pockets of typewriter enthusiasts came together online, said Richard Polt, a Xavier University philosophy professor and author of “The Typewriter Revolution: A Typist’s Companion for the 21st Century.” Since then, the fan base has grown dramatically, and various public events have been organized around the typewriter.

“It’s beyond the phase where this is just a fad,” Mr. Polt said.

It’s almost impossible to gauge recent typewriter sales. Almost all of the original manufacturers are out of business or have been bought out and become different companies. Moonachie, New Jersey-based Swintec appears to be one of the last typewriter makers, selling translucent electronic machines largely to jails and prisons.

But operators of thrift stores and estate sales say typewriters are some of the quickest items to go.

“That’s part of the fun: the hunt,” said Joe Van Cleave, an Albuquerque resident who owns more than a dozen typewriters and runs a popular YouTube channel on restoring the machines. “Sometimes, like a little luck, you might find something from the 1920s in great condition.”

Doug Nichol, director of the upcoming documentary “California Typewriter,” said the interest stems from “digital burnout” and people wanting a connection to the past. That interest seems to transcend age, he said.

“Kids who grew up knowing only mobile phones and the computer are excited to see a letter typed with your own hand,” Mr. Nichol said. “It’s a one-on-one interaction that doesn’t get interrupted by Twitter alerts.”

In his film, set for release in August, Nichol interviews Mr. Hanks, who said he uses a typewriter almost every day to send memos and letters.

“I hate getting email thank-yous from folks,” Hanks says in the film. “Now, if they take 70 seconds to type me out something on a piece of paper and send to me, well, I’ll keep that forever. I’ll just delete that email.”

Hanks owns about 270 typewriters but often gives them to people who show an interest.

One way the typewriter craze is growing is through organized “type-ins”--meet-ups in public places where typewriter fans try different vintage machines. Such events have been held in Phoenix, Philadelphia, Seattle, Los Angeles, and Cincinnati.

During a recent type-in at Albuquerque soul food restaurant Nexus Brewery, around three dozen fans took turns clicking the keys of an Italian-made 1964 Olivetti Lettera 32 and a 1947 Royal KMM, among others.

Rich Boucher spent most of his time on a 1960s-era Hermes 3000 crafting poetry.

“I haven’t used a typewriter in forever,” he said. “This is a real refreshing way to spend a summer afternoon.”

After finishing his work, Boucher grabbed his phone and sent a Facebook status update about the experience. He then started looking online for a Hermes 3000.

“That’s the typewriter I want,” he said. “I’m going to find one.”

The Ingram MAC-11 (Military Armament Corporation Model 11) is a subcompact machine pistol/submachine gun developed by American gun designer Gordon Ingram at the Military Armament Corporation (MAC) during the 1970s in Powder Springs, Georgia.(5)(6) The weapon is a sub-compact version of the Model 10 (MAC-10), and is chambered to fire the smaller .380 ACP round.(6)

This weapon is sometimes confused with the Sylvia & Wayne Daniels M-11/9, its successor the Leinad PM-11, or the Vulcan M-11-9, both of which are later variants of the MAC chambered for 9 mm Luger Parabellum cartridge.(7)(8) Cobray also made a .380 ACP variant called the M12.(9)

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) considers MAC-11 variants such as the Leinad PM-11 to be part of the 'MAC-10 class pistol.'(10)

Design(edit)

Operation(edit)

Like the larger M-10, the M-11 has open sights with the rear pinhole sight welded to the receiver. These sights are for use with the folding stock, as using them without the stock is nearly useless because of the initial jump of the weapon due to its heavy, open-bolt design. The M-11A1 also has two safety features which are also found on the Model 10A1. The charging handle rotates to 90 degrees to lock the bolt in the forward position thus preventing the weapon from being cocked. The second safety is a slider which is pushed forward to lock the trigger, which in turn pins the bolt to the rear (cocked) position. This prevents the weapon from discharging even when dropped, which is not uncommon with an open-bolt design.

Performance(edit)

Semi-automatic, Cobray MAC-11/9 with 32-round magazine and suppressor.

The rate of fire of the M-11A1 is one of the biggest complaints on the firearm. Listed as approximately 1,200 rpm (rounds per minute),(8) the MAC-11 is capable of emptying the entire 32-round magazine in less than two seconds, which many users view as a drawback.(11) Rate of fire will also vary depending on the weight of bullets used. The gun also has a selector switch that allows it to fire only one round at a time in the semi-automatic mode.

Noting the weapon's poor accuracy, in the 1970s International Association of Police Chiefs weapons researcher David Steele described the MAC series as 'fit only for combat in a phone booth.'(12)

The M-11 is the least common version in the MAC family of firearms. At the MAC-11's high cyclic rate, extreme trigger discipline is required to discharge short bursts, which are required for combat effectiveness. Without proper training, the natural tendency of the inexperienced shooter is to hold down the trigger, discharging the entire magazine in little more than two seconds, often with poor accuracy due to recoil.

Sound suppressor(edit)

A specific suppressor was developed for the MAC-11, which used wipes as baffles, instead of the reflex baffles that Mitchell Werbell III created for the MAC-10. Though wipes are less durable than reflex baffles, they had the advantage of proving quieter for the MAC-11. The suppressor is 224 mm in length and is covered with Nomex-A heat-resistant material.(1)

Manufacturers(edit)

MAC-type submachine guns and semi-automatic pistols were first manufactured by the Military Armament Corporation, and later by RPB Inc., Sylvia/Wayne Daniel Inc.,(13)Cobray, Jersey Arms, Leinad, MasterPiece Arms,(8) and Vulcan.

Compare And Contrast: Dillinger (1973) vs Public Enemies (2009)

I finally caught up with Public Enemies, Michael Mann’s 2009 film based on Bryan Burrough's book Public Enemies: America's Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933–34.

As a pop culture history buff, the subject matter fascinates me, but I’m also a huge fan of John Milius’ 1973 film, Dillinger, and wanted to see how it compared, especially since both films were written or co-written by their directors, and both directors have produced memorable work.

So how does Public Enemies measure up to Dillinger?

Very well. Not as good, but very well indeed.

The easiest way to describe the difference between the two is that Dillinger is one of the best B-movies ever made, impeccably cast with familiar supporting character actors (and one future superstar) and ingenuously stretching its budget to maximum effect, while Public Enemies is an opulent near-epic, clearly an A-film with an A-list cast.

Advantage: Dillinger, for getting the most bang for the buck.

Both films cover the FBI’s war against John Dillinger and other notorious bank robbers / outlaws of the era. Plot-wise they are so similar that Public Enemies could easily be mistaken as a remake of Dillinger.

Part of this is because they’re working with the same source material, of course, but neither film is attempting to be a docu-drama that sticks scrupulously with the facts.

Rather, each is a historical fiction based on real events, but uses those events to examine both the era and the mindsets of Dillinger and his FBI nemesis, Melvin Purvis.

They both tell great stories, and quite a bit of truth is told in the process, but they make a hash of the historical record.

Dillinger and Purvis never met nor had any direct communication during Dillinger’s crime spree. Both movies establish brief but fleeting personal contacts between the two in order to heighten the drama, but the reality is they never laid eyes on one another, at least not while Dillinger was alive.

The actual timelines are also jumbled up in both films (for example, Pretty Boy Floyd was killed after Dillinger, but both movies show him dying first, in Public Enemies’ case well before Purvis focuses his hunt on Dillinger).

While inaccurate, this cinematic restructuring is dramatically forgivable since it directs the attention on the hunt for Dillinger, the most notorious American outlaw since Jesse James.

Truth be told, the actual hunt for Dillinger and other Depression era outlaws was a messy / slipshod / chaotic affair with many mistakes and missed opportunities. Showing it as it actually played out would prove frustrating and anticlimactic to audiences, so poetic license is approved in this case.

Advantage: Tie

Structurally, both films intercut between the Dillinger and Purvis characters as they rocket towards their final confrontation.

In Public Enemies, young Melvin Purvis (Christian Bale) realizes the ruthless Dillinger gang possesses an animal cunning and criminal instinct that the fresh cut newly recruited college boys of the FBI can’t hope to match, and begs J. Edgar Hoover (Billy Crudup) for help which arrives in the form of veteran Texas lawman, Charles Winstead (Stephen Lang).

This makes for an interesting sub-plot in Public Enemies and the old and new FBI agents must learn to work with one another and appreciate each’s different talents and skill sets.

Dillinger sidesteps this by casting already long-in-the-tooth veteran character actor Ben Johnson as Purvis.

In terms of historical accuracy, no. Johnson looks more like Purvis’ grandfather than Purvis himself, and a sub-plot about him being engaged to a 20-something young woman gets a little creepy.

On the other hand, it’s Ben fnckin’ Johnson, so no matter how wildly inaccurate it’s going to be, you know it plays like a charm.

Bale’s character seems rather bloodless in comparison.

Advantage: Public Enemies, because in the final run Dillinger is meant as a rip-roarin’ melodrama and Public Enemies, no matter how action packed, as a straight drama, and as such Bale not only inhabits his character’s skin with more emotional accuracy for what Mann is trying to do, but son of a gun, even looks like the actual Purvis.

So who’s the best Dilinger hizzowndamnself?

Not even gonna tease this one out.

Advantage: Dillinger, as the role Warren Oates was born to play. His resemblance to the real John Dillinger is uncanny, and his hard bitten attitude and underlying fatalism fits perfectly in Milius’ tale. Johnny Depp is entertaining, and his character is a complex and haunted one, but in the end he comes across as just as much of a college boy as Bale’s Purvis.

Which leads up to the supporting cast and the respective screenplays.

There’s a scene in Milius’ Dillinger where Homer Van Meter (Harry Dean Stanton) carjacks a young college student while fleeing the FBI and takes him hostage.

While they drive along, they get to talking, and Van Meter learns the college student plays football for his school. Van Meter says he played center for the state penitentiary team.

“You don’t look big enough to be a center,” says the college student.

“I was big enough,” Van Meter says coldly.

And that right there sums up the biggest difference between the two films.

No slam against the expert cast of Public Enemies, but the supporting players in Dillinger inhabit their characters far better, and with far more to do than Mann’s film.

The actors playing outlaws in Public Enemies never actually seem to be part of a gang while Milius’ cast -- in addition to Stanton including Cloris Leachman, Geoffrey Lewis, Michelle Phillips, and soon-to-be major box office draw Richard Dreyfuss -- seemed whole and organic.

Part of this has to do with the focus of each screenplay.

Advantage: Dillinger, with the caveat that Marion Cotillard just narrowly edges Phillips out as the better Billie Frechette, Dillinger’s tragic love interest; her last scene, as she struggles to remain stoic despite a host of conflicting emotions raging through her, is breathtaking.

Despite being based on the same true life events, and despite their structural similarities, John Milius’s screenplay for Dillinger and Michael Mann / Ann Biderman / Ronan Bennett’s screenplay for Public Enemies differs in several crucial areas, most notably being who the story focuses on.

With Millius the focus is on Dillinger and his gang. The pursuing law enforcement officers are embodied in the form of Ben Johnson’s Melvin Purvis, a cigar-smoking / overcoat-wearing / Thompson-toting angel of death stalking Dillinger.

Warren Oates’ Dillinger possesses no illusions about the outcome of this conflict and, despite his bravado in taunting Purvis, knows full well how his story will end and that all he can do is keep trying to add chapters before the book is closed.

Mann, on the other hand, is really more interested in the FBI’s reaction to the crime wave sweeping the country, not just in the technical law enforcement end of catching criminals, but the intricate political dance that Hoover must do to maintain control and authority. The internal struggles of the FBI team led by Christian Bale’s Purvis are played interestingly and well, and one sees the two groups -- Dillinger’s gang and Purvis’ FBI team -- both as standing on the cusp of a new age, but only Purvis’ team will have the foresight and ability to see that future.

There are two scenes in Public Enemies that harken to scenes in earlier movies.

In one, reminiscent of the Bledsoe scene in William Goldman’s Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid (another story about criminals running out of time in every sense of the word), Dillinger confronts syndicate soldier Phil D'Andrea (John Ortiz) as to why the Chicago mob will no longer launder his stolen money or offer him a place to hide out. D'Andrea informs him that the bookie joint they’re in makes as much money in a single day as Dillinger makes in a bank robbery, and it makes that money every day all year long, and that money buys protection from the police…

…unless they’re looking for John Dillinger.

Which basically means the web of corruption is complete, and that Dillinger and Purvis are both outside it, and as such Dillinger no longer has protection and Purvis will find cooperation…

…just as long as he’s chasing after lone operators like Dillinger.

The second scene is from Michael Mann’s own Heat, the famous coffee house scene between LAPD Lieutenant Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino) and professional thief Neil McCauley (Robert De Niro), in which Hanna asks McCauley Vincent if he has enough time to do what he wants to do.

“No,” McCauley says. “Not yet.”

That’s echoed in a scene in Public Enemies where Alvin Karpis (Giovanni Ribisi) tries to recruit Dillinger for one last big score, with the promise there will be enough money for Dillinger to flee to Cuba.

Dillinger agrees he wants to flee, but not to Cuba, but rather somewhere the US can’t touch him.

This marks a crucial difference in the Dillinger character in the two films.

Warren Oates’ Dillinger is just buying time, holding off the inevitable for as long as he can, but never pretending that day of reckoning isn’t coming.

Johnny Depp’s Dillinger has the hubris to think he can get away with it.

It’s a major thematic difference and it’s one that takes Depp’s Dillinger out of the poverty stricken working class background of Oates’ take on the character, and instead has him rubbing philosophical and class elbows with Bale’s Purvis (though in all fairness, it can also be said Ben Johnson’s Purvis and Oates’ Dillinger know each other all too well).

Advantage: Dillinger, despite Public Enemies’ interesting philosophical twist on the material, comes across much stronger because its characters -- gangsters and G-men -- are morally honest at their core.

Public Enemies took great pains to shoot at actual locations where the events occurred whenever possible, and packed their scenes with scores of authentically dressed background players.

Milius filmed Dillinger primarily in Oklahoma, using real towns and locales that remained virtually untouched since the 1910s.

When Public Enemies did build sets -- in particular for the bank robbery scenes -- they looked like something out of a James Bond movie, so much so one half expects Goldfinger to be part of the gang.

Dillinger’s banks were crummy little small town hole in the wall enterprises, and whether accurate or not, far more evocative of the desperation felt during that era.

Advantage: Dillinger, for making everything seem more real and authentic, and using the sparseness of its scenes as a plus, not a handicap.

Final tally: Dillinger, for me, remains the clear winner despite the really top notch job Michael Mann and company turned in on Public Enemies. It’s an altogether more satisfying take on the tale, one that doesn’t get overshadowed by the production itself.

Gangland Lawyering? Featuring Pierce Bainbridge & Hecht Partners

Rudy Giuliani tied himself to Pierce Bainbridge Beck Price & Hecht LLP with a tweet announcing the firm would represent him for the Ukraine fiasco. The man formerly known as “America’s Mayor” made his chops taking on “The Five Families,” a New York City Organized Crime syndicate. The revelations coming out of Pierce Bainbridge have many opining that Pierce Bainbridge operations are more akin to a criminal enterprise than a reputable law firm. A bombshell accusation from an ex-firm associate has increased the already searing spotlight on the firm, as well as its current and former partners. The accusations – which sound like something that could be found in Rudy’s bag of tricks – include alleged fraud on a federal court and related intimidation tactics.

“Intimidation” & “Fraud on the Court” Accusations

A new outside lawyer for Pierce Bainbridge, Ed Altabet of Cohen Seglias, has been accused of attempting to “intimidate” the ex-associate from coming forward with accusations that ex-Pierce Bainbridge named-partner David L. Hecht (Hecht Partners) intentionally defrauded a federal court. The issue arose in connection with a putative class action against Boeing and Southwest Airlines. The story is covered by LawFuel.com here.

Hecht has been so loyal to Pierce, his ex-partner Christopher N. LaVigne (Withers Bergman) said “David would toss dogs off of cliffs,” if Pierce said it was a good strategy. To be fair, LaVigne clearly has a low opinion of Hecht, LaVigne has also opined in writing: “David is an embarrassment to lawyers everywhere. Some of the worst lawyers I know are better than David.” Similarly, Mike Masnick of Techdirt.com, referred to a complaint Hecht filed on behalf of Tulsi Gabbard as “laughable” and said Hecht should be “embarrassed.”

Notwithstanding these views, Hecht recently started his “own firm,” Hecht Partners LLP. Oddly, seven (7) of the eight (8) lawyers are from Pierce Bainbridge, certain administrative personnel from Pierce Bainbridge have reportedly joined, and Hecht puzzlingly said in open court that while he is no longer a partner at Pierce Bainbridge, he still works with the firm.

This, as well as related events such as the Boeing Southwest fiasco, the reported $65,000,000 Pierce Bainbridge debt to litigation funder Virage Capital Management, and the at least six lawsuits currently facing Hecht’s former firm, has led to suggestions that the two firms, and perhaps a third-party, are involved in Gangland-like shell-game shenanigans.

The Bombshell Filing does nothing to help the image of the newly established Hecht Partners. It has Gangland tactics written all over it. The former associate took direct aim at Altabet and Hecht.

Altabet replaced long-time Giuliani ally, and a lawyer intricately connected to Donald Trump, Mark Mukasey. Even for Mukasey, the Pierce Bainbridge environment appears to have been unacceptable; he withdrew citing ethics concerns. In came Altabet, and the unethical conduct did not skip a beat.

In a filing in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas in front of the Honorable Judge Amos L. Mazzant, the ex-associate said:

“After reviewing the transcript from the May 13th hearing in this matter, I have confirmed what I believe are numerous statements of material fact by David Hecht which are inaccurate, and may have been made to intentionally mislead counsel and the Court.”

“[I]n light of an email I received from Pierce Bainbridge’s outside counsel, Ed Altabet, today, in which he made several baseless accusations against me in what appeared to be an effort to intimidate me and hamper my efforts to correct the record, I request an In-Camera ex parte hearing before the Court.”

The John Pierce, Keyboard-Fueled Gangland Tactics

Pierce’s bombast proclamations of global domination, and overwhelming lack of candor, have rendered the Harvard Law School graduate a laughingstock in many legal circles.

Pierce is still, however, commonly seen as the straw stirring Hecht’s actions, as well as the driving force behind the intimidation tactics. Pierce, who claims to have been a tank platoon leader in the United States Army, takes his faux machismo passionately; for example, a report by Meghan Tribe in Law.Com, quotes Pierce:

“We are building an army of killers on a highly collaborative platform. In addition, we have a culture obsessed with winning and bringing maximum value to clients.” – John Pierce, January 3, 2019

Pierce subsequently attacked Tribe on LinkedIn in a falsehood-ridden post with his disciples lending support. Former Pierce Bainbridge partners Michael Pomerantz, Thomas Warren (Warren Terzian), Johanthan Kortmansky (BraunHagey & Borden) and, you guessed it, David Hecht endorsed Pierce’s nonsense.

Indeed, the Pierce modus operandi seems to be to threaten by e-mail.

For example, Pierce threatened a former client by email, the client reported Pierce to the California State Bar and included an opinion that Pierce is a “menace to the legal society.”

Pierce threatened a lending company named Newtek by email in September 2018; in early October 2018, Newtek denied Pierce’s request for a $ 1 million SBA loan secured by a client’s $ 6 million home; the denial was related to Pierce’s obligations to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as well as California state tax authorities. (Public records show Pierce has around $1.5 million in tax liens, e-mails show he owes $21,000 month alimony, and Pierce claims to be the sole guarantor of a $65,000,000 Pierce Bainbridge debt to Virage Capital Management.)

To complete the trifecta, Pierce also threatened former partner and whistle blowing Don Lewis by email. Lewis’s ex-partners, all who have been sued by him, were on the email. Lewis says, “despite their fiduciary duties of care, they all did nothing.” (Denver G. Edwards pictured, joined after Lewis, but has been accused, along with Christopher N. LaVigne (Withers Bergman) of “lying under oath” to smear Lewis.)

The group are experienced attorneys who now practice at Armstrong Teasedale, Braunhagey & Borden, Withers Bergman, Hecht Partners, among other firms. Their prior experience is at reputable law firms such as BakerHostetler, Baker & McKenzie, Browne George & Ross, Brown Rudnick, Covington & Burling, Davis Polk, Fish & Richardson, Gibson Dunn, Glaser Weil, Grais & Ellsworth, Grant & Eisenhofer, Kasowitz Benson, Kirkland & Ellis, Kaye Scholer, Kobre Kim, Margolis & Tinsman, McKool Smith, Murphy & King, Murchison & Cumming, Reid Collins & Tsai, Steptoe & Johnson, Sullivan & Worcester, Quinn Emanuel; White & Case, Wachtell Missry, Wilson Sonsini, and White & Case.

Next Stop Jail?

Many have speculated if Pierce may eventually wind up behind bars, consistent with a warning he received from Oscar De La Hoya’s long-time lawyer in the Fall of 2018.

Lots of Questions: What Was Virage Told?

As for the Virage $65 million, what convinced the litigation funder to risk such a large investment in Pierce Bainbridge remains a mystery. Pierce appears to be running a decent con, perhaps even Giuliani with all his Gangland experience was impressed.

The question persists: What was Virage told? What representations were made? Who made them? How could Virage get in so deep behind:

a $9.1 million declared default against the firm.

issues with paying creditors.

no track record of meaningful litigation success.

a “leader” – John Pierce – with “brutal credit”.

a “leader” – John Pierce – with issues with “substance abuse and other addictive behaviors.”

The Mysterious Richard Silverstein of Loan Annex

An individual who may have some answers, but to date has largely stayed out of the fray, is Richard Silverstein the Founder of Loan Annex.

Silverstein is pictured above with promotional material from his LinkedIn page. The Loan Annex founder filed a sworn affidavit in federal bankruptcy court at the end of last year stating: “Throughout 2019, I was engaged by Pierce Bainbridge as their consultant for the purpose of arranging financing for the firm.” 2019 is when both tranches of the $65 million Virage deal were struck.

Interestingly, Silverstein’s affidavit was filed to support the claims of a lender named Counsel Financial; Pierce Bainbridge was allegedly in discussions with Counsel Financial about financing in March 2019. In line with the Gangland theme, the underlying debtor claimed in an affidavit: “A colleague of mine derided these tactics as ‘Mafia-style’ intimidation, but even the Mafia had a code about attacking family members.” The tactics had to do with alleged e-mail threats from a lawyer for Counsel Financial.

More Questions: What’s Going on with Talon LF, LLC

Recently leaked solicitation materials for potential investors in a litigation fund intricately intertwined with Pierce Bainbridge may also shed light; the name of the fund is Talon LF, LLC.

Two ex-Pierce Bainbridge partners, Doug Curran (BraunHagey & Borden) and Thomas D. Warren (Warren Terzian), as well as Pierce are listed as closely affiliated.

The Talon investor solicitation materials appear to have several issues, but there are two glaringly puzzling representations.

“Vertically integrated with PB w/ a success rate on contingency cases of 97%”. (From cover e-mail accompanying the materials)

A chart which represents a positive investment rate of return (“IRR”) for litigation funder Pravati Capital, which apparently failing to indicate that Pravati declared a $9,157,072.95 default.

Are these representations true? Are they materially misleading? Are they fraudulent?

Issues surrounding the clearing of the Pravati default raise more Gangland type flags. A former firm client, Gustavo Escamilla, President of Greenway Nutrients, says he “has strong reason to believe that Mr. Piece and his firm Pierce Bainbridge accepted bribes ”from individuals with “criminal backgrounds” and “used this bribe money to pay down some, or all, of an over $9.1 million [Pravati] default.”

Escamilla has also developed a compelling timeline, which suggest his claims may be valid.

The General Counsel & Blind Eye: Carolynn K. Beck

On the issue of Pravati, ex-firm General Counsel, Carolynn K. Beck, now a partner at Goldstein & McClintock, was intricately connected to Pravati. She is alleged to have misrepresented, with Pierce, a case value to Pravati by well over $900,000,000.00, and documents appear to support the same. In addition, a Philly lawyer has sued Beck individually, the other named partners and Pierce Bainbridge claiming the case value presented to Pravati was wildly overinflated. The Philly lawyer worked the same case for 16 months before Pierce Bainbridge took over.

Beck joined her new firm with Craig Bolton; the duo reportedly worked very closely together at Pierce Bainbridge. Bolton was apparently involved in litigation funding efforts, including the alleged discussions with Counsel Financial in March.

A cavalcade of severe misconduct happened under Beck’s watch: lies under oath, violations of ethical rules, deletion of evidence, misogyny from the top, potential double-pledging of firm collateral, Pierce siphoning funds from firm accounts, the list goes on.

Beck as General Counsel for the firm, appears, at best, to have done nothing to stop it. A type of Gangland consigliere who seems to have made an internal oath to never get in the way.

As an example, written communications indicate Beck was aware of Pierce using firm accounts as a personal piggy bank back in October 2018. A text that Lewis received from the firm’s bookkeeper, just days before being banished, strongly suggests the Goldstein & McClintock partner was in the know.

Subsequent to this October 2018 message, the Firm, under Beck’s watch, would go on to rack up a $65 million debt from April 2019 – April 2020, find itself a defendant in three cash advance lawsuits (where upfront cash was provided in exchange for alleged firm receivables) and see a mass exodus of attorneys starting in October 2019. Beck’s apparent willful turn of a blind eye is not consistent with the role of a General Counsel.

Camille Varlack, Kevin Cash & The Future

Beck left the firm around a month ago; a Law360 article said Chief Operating Officer and Deputy General Counsel Camille Varlack and Chief Financial Officer Kevin Cash were running Pierce Bainbridge while Pierce was on a forced leave of absence. Both Varlack and Cash are not part of the original Pierce Bainbridge inner circle; but their role in leadership positions, with apparent visibility into the firm’s finances is noteworthy.

With a firm boasting so many red flags, the possibility of a wide-ranging Pierce Bainbridge bloodbath seems more likely by the day. Cash and Varlack may be subjected to some hard questions about what they knew, when they knew it and what they did about it.

Giuliani, some would say, has learned from the mobsters he used to prosecute and has pulled off Gangland tactics for years, while remaining relatively unscathed. It remains to be seen if this brat pack of attorneys Rudy hired have what it takes to keep ahead of the tsunami of severe issues that are closing in on them.

We are their caretakers. We love them. We nurse them when they are sick. . . But no woman should live longer than her children. It is against the law of nature. If she does, why wouldn’t she wish to leap from a cliff, hang from a branch, or swallow lye? – Lisa See • If one were not animated with the desire to discover laws, they would escape the most enlightened attention. – Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac • If the [Vestiges] be true, the labours of sober induction are in vain; religion is a lie; human law is a mass of folly, and a base injustice; morality is moonshine; our labours for the black people of Africa were works of madmen; and man and woman are only better beasts! – Adam Sedgwick • If the aim of physical theories is to explain experimental laws, theoretical physics is not an autonomous science; it is subordinate to metaphysics. – Pierre Duhem • If the law supposes that,’ said Mr Bumble…’ the law is an ass – an idiot. – Charles Dickens • If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law. – Henry David Thoreau • If there is anything in the world which I do firmly believe in, it is the universal validity of the law of causation. – Thomas Huxley • If there were no bad people, there would be no good lawyers. – Charles Dickens • If you like laws and sausages, you should never watch either one being made. – Otto von Bismarck • If you make 10,000 regulations you destroy all respect for the law. – Winston Churchill • Ignorance of the law excuses no man from practicing it. – Addison Mizner • Ignorance of the law excuses no man. – John Selden • In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread. – Anatole France • In law, nothing is certain but the expense. – Samuel Butler • In my opinion there is no other salvation for civilization and even for the human race than the creation of a world government with security on the basis of law. As long as there are sovereign states with their separate armaments and armament secrets, new world wars cannot be avoided. – Albert Einstein • In science, law is not a rule imposed from without, but an expression of an intrinsic process. The laws of the lawgiver are impotent beside the laws of human nature, as to his disillusion many a lawgiver has discovered. – Clifford Allbutt • In the light of fuller day, Of purer science, holier laws. – Charles Kingsley • Isolated facts and experiments have in themselves no value, however great their number may be. They only become valuable in a theoretical or practical point of view when they make us acquainted with the law of a series of uniformly recurring phenomena, or, it may be, only give a negative result showing an incompleteness in our knowledge of such a law, till then held to be perfect. – Hermann von Helmholtz • It ain’t no sin if you crack a few laws now and then, just so long as you don’t break any. – Mae West • It doesn’t do good to open doors for someone who doesn’t have the price to get in.

Heinlein • It is childish to rest in the discovery of mere coincidences, or of partial and extraneous laws. – Henry David Thoreau • It is evident, therefore, that one of the most fundamental problems of psychology is that of investigating the laws of mental growth. When these laws are known, the door of the future will in a measure be opened; determination of the child’s present status will enable us to forecast what manner of adult he will become. – Lewis Terman • It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right. – Henry David Thoreau • It is not your work to make anything happen. It’s your work to dream it and let it happen. Law of Attraction will make it happen. In your joy, you create something, and then you maintain your vibrational harmony with it and the Universe must find a way to bring it about. That’s the promise of Law of Attraction. – Esther Hicks • It is perplexing to see the flexibility of the so-called ‘exact sciences’ which by cast-iron laws of logic and by the infallible help of mathematics can lead to conclusions which are diametrically opposite to one another. – Vasco Ronchi • It is strangely absurd to suppose that a million of human beings, collected together, are not under the same moral laws which bind each of them separately. – Thomas Jefferson • It is the spirit and not the form of law that keeps justice alive. – Earl Warren • It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can keep him from lynching me, and I think that’s pretty important. – Martin Luther King, Jr. • It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood. – James Madison • Law and justice are not always the same. – Gloria Steinem • Law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice and when they fail in this purpose they become the dangerously structured dams that block the flow of social progress. – Martin Luther King, Jr. • Law is a bottomless pit. – John Arbuthnot • Law is a Bottomless-Pit, it is a Cormorant, a Harpy, that devours every thing. – John Arbuthnot • Law is nothing unless close behind it stands a warm, living public opinion. – Wendell Phillips • Law is often the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual. – Thomas Jefferson • Law is order, and good law is good order. – Aristotle • Law; an ordinance of reason for the common good, made by him who has care of the community. – Thomas Aquinas • Laws alone can not secure freedom of expression; in order that every man present his views without penalty there must be spirit of tolerance in the entire population. – Albert Einstein • Laws and institutions, like clocks, must occasionally be cleaned, wound up, and set to true time. • Laws are like cobwebs, which may catch small flies, but let wasps and hornets break through. – Jonathan Swift • Laws are like spiders webs which, if anything small falls into them they ensnare it, but large things break through and escape. – Solon • Laws for the liberal education of youth, especially of the lower class of people, are so extremely wise and useful, that, to a humane and generous mind, no expense for this purpose would be thought extravagant. – John Adams • Laws grind the poor, and rich men rule the law. – Oliver Goldsmith • Laws of Nature are God’s thoughts thinking themselves out in the orbs and the tides. – Charles Henry Parkhurst • Laws should be made, not against quacks but against superstition. – Rudolf Virchow • Laws too gentle are seldom obeyed; too severe, seldom executed. – Benjamin Franklin • Laws, in their most general signification, are the necessary relations derived from the nature of things. – Baron de Montesquieu • Laws, in their most general signification, are the necessary relations arising from the nature of things. In this sense all beings have their laws: the Deity His laws, the material world its laws, the intelligences superior to man their laws, the beasts their laws, man his laws. – Baron de Montesquieu • Laws, like houses, lean on one another. – Edmund Burke • Laws: We know what they are, and what they are worth! They are spider webs for the rich and mighty, steel chains for the poor and weak, fishing nets in the hands of government. – Pierre-Joseph Proudhon • Lawyers are the only persons in whom ignorance of the law is not punished. – Jeremy Bentham • Lawyers, I suppose, were children once. – Charles Lamb • Let reverence for the laws . . . become the political religion of the nation. – Abraham Lincoln • Let us consider the reason of the case. For nothing is law that is not reason. – John Powell • Life itself is but the expression of a sum of phenomena, each of which follows the ordinary physical and chemical laws. – Rudolf Virchow • Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place. – Frederic Bastiat • Man is made for science; he reasons from effects to causes, and from causes to effects; but he does not always reason without error. In reasoning, therefore, from appearances which are particular, care must be taken how we generalize; we should be cautious not to attribute to nature, laws which may perhaps be only of our own invention. – James Hutton • Many laws as certainly make men bad, as bad men make many laws. – Walter Savage Landor • Mastering the lawless science of our law,- that codeless myriad of precedent, that wilderness of single instances. – Alfred Lord Tennyson • Mathematics is much more than a language for dealing with the physical world. It is a source of models and abstractions which will enable us to obtain amazing new insights into the way in which nature operates. Indeed, the beauty and elegance of the physical laws themselves are only apparent when expressed in the appropriate mathematical framework. – Melvin Schwartz • Nature is an endless combination and repetition of a very few laws. She hums the old well-known air through innumerable variations. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • Nature seems to take advantage of the simple mathematical representations of the symmetry laws. When one pauses to consider the elegance and the beautiful perfection of the mathematical reasoning involved and contrast it with the complex and far-reaching physical consequences, a deep sense of respect for the power of the symmetry laws never fails to develop. – Chen-Ning Yang • Necessity has no law. – Oliver Cromwell • Necessity knows no law. – Aesop • Necessity knows no law; I know some attorneys of the same. – Benjamin Franklin • No law can be sacred to me but that of my nature. Good and bad are but names very readily transferable to that or this; the only right is what is after my constitution; the only wrong is what is against it. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • No man is above the law and no man is below it: nor do we ask any man’s permission when we ask him to obey it. – Theodore Roosevelt • No man is above the law, and no man is below it. – Theodore Roosevelt • No physiologist who calmly considers the question in connection with the general truths of his science, can long resist the conviction that different parts of the cerebrum subserve different kinds of mental action. Localization of function is the law of all organization whatever: separateness of duty is universally accompanied with separateness of structure: and it would be marvellous were an exception to exist in the cerebral hemispheres. – Herbert Spencer • No written law has ever been more binding than unwritten custom supported by popular opinion. – Carrie Chapman Catt • Nobody has a more sacred obligation to obey the law than those who make the law. – Jean Anouilh • Nothing can destroy a government more quickly than its failure to observe its own laws, or worse, its disregard of the charter of its own existence. – Tom C. Clark • Nothing is accidental in the universe – this is one of my Laws of Physics – except the entire universe itself, which is Pure Accident, pure divinity. – Joyce Carol Oates • Nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. – Albert Einstein • Nothing travels faster than the speed of light, with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws. – Douglas Adams • Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill it teaches the whole people by example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. To declare that in the administration of the criminal law the end justifies the means – to declare that the Government may commit crimes in order to secure the conviction of a private criminal – would bring terrible retributions. – Louis D. Brandeis • Our government… teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. – Louis D. Brandeis • Pacifists should stress more and more that it is the rule of law for which they are fighting. – Fredrik Bajer • Parkinson’s Law is a purely scientific discovery, inapplicable except in theory to the politics of the day. It is not the business of the botanist to eradicate the weeds. Enough for him if he can tell us just how fast they grow. – C. Northcote Parkinson • People are entirely too disbelieving of coincidence. They are far too ready to dismiss it and to build arcane structures of extremely rickety substance in order to avoid it. I, on the other hand, see coincidence everywhere as an inevitable consequence of the laws of probability, according to which having no unusual coincidence is far more unusual than any coincidence could possibly be. – Isaac Asimov • Physio-philosophy has to show how, and in accordance indeed with what laws, the Material took its origin; and, therefore, how something derived its existence from nothing. It has to portray the first periods of the world’s development from nothing; how the elements and heavenly bodies originated; in what method by self-evolution into higher and manifold forms, they separated into minerals, became finally organic, and in Man attained self-consciousness. – Lorenz Oken • Reason is the life of the law; nay, the common law itself is nothing else but reasonThe law, which is perfection of reason. – Edward Coke • Research is industrial prospecting. The oil prospectors use every scientific means to find new paying wells. Oil is found by each one of a number of methods. My own group of men are prospecting in a different field, using every possible scientific means. We believe there are still things left to be discovered. We have only stumbled upon a few barrels of physical laws from the great pool of knowledge. Some day we are going to hit a gusher. – Charles Kettering • Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law’ because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual. – Thomas Jefferson • Science corrects the old creeds, sweeps away, with every new perception, our infantile catechisms, and necessitates a faith commensurate with the grander orbits and universal laws which it discloses yet it does not surprise the moral sentiment that was older and awaited expectant these larger insights. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • Science dissipates errors born of ignorance about our true relations with nature, errors the more damaging in that the social order should rest only on those relations. TRUTH! JUSTICE! Those are the immutable laws. Let us banish the dangerous maxim that it is sometimes useful to depart from them and to deceive or enslave mankind to assure its happiness. – Pierre-Simon Laplace • Science is composed of laws which were originally based on a small, carefully selected set of observations, often not very accurately measured originally; but the laws have later been found to apply over much wider ranges of observations and much more accurately than the original data justified. – Richard Hamming • Science is the knowledge of constant things, not merely of passing events, and is properly less the knowledge of general laws than of existing facts. – John Ruskin • Shame may restrain what law does not prohibit. – Seneca the Younger • Since the beginning of physics, symmetry considerations have provided us with an extremely powerful and useful tool in our effort to understand nature. Gradually they have become the backbone of our theoretical formulation of physical laws. – Tsung-Dao Lee • Sir Arthur Eddington deduces religion from the fact that atoms do not obey the laws of mathematics. Sir James Jeans deduces it from the fact that they do. – Bertrand Russell • Some laws of state aimed at curbing crime are even more criminal. – Friedrich Engels • Some may claim that is it unscientific to speak of the operations of nature as “miracles.” But the point of the title lies in the paradox of finding so many wonderful things … subservient to the rule of law. – Elisha Gray • Sometimes the law defends plunder and participates in it. Sometimes the law places the whole apparatus of judges, police, prisons and gendarmes at the service of the plunderers, and treats the victim – when he defends himself – as a criminal. – Frederic Bastiat • Statistical science is indispensable to modern statesmanship. In legislation as in physical science it is beginning to be understood that we can control terrestrial forces only by obeying their laws. The legislator must formulate in his statutes not only the national will, but also those great laws of social life revealed by statistics. – James A. Garfield • That no generally applicable law of the formulation and development of hybrids has yet been successfully formulated can hardly astonish anyone who is acquainted with the extent of the task and who can appreciate the difficulties with which experiments of this kind have to contend. – Gregor Mendel • That old law about ‘an eye for an eye’ leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do the right thing.- Martin Luther King, Jr. • The aim of science is to explain what so far has taken to be an explicans, such as a law of nature. The task of empirical science constantly renews itself. We may go on forever, proceeding to explanations of a higher and higher universality. – Karl Popper • The basic thesis of gestalt theory might be formulated thus: there are contexts in which what is happening in the whole cannot be deduced from the characteristics of the separate pieces, but conversely; what happens to a part of the whole is, in clearcut cases, determined by the laws of the inner structure of its whole. – Max Wertheimer • The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly. – Abraham Lincoln • The burgeoning field of computer science has shifted our view of the physical world from that of a collection of interacting material particles to one of a seething network of information. In this way of looking at nature, the laws of physics are a form of software, or algorithm, while the material world-the hardware-plays the role of a gigantic computer. – Paul Davies • The chess-board is the world, the pieces are the phenomena of the universe, the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us. – Thomas Huxley • The development doctrines are doing much harm on both sides of the Atlantic, especially among intelligent mechanics, and a class of young men engaged in the subordinate departments of trade and the law. And the harm, thus considerable in amount, must be necessarily more than merely considerable in degree. For it invariably happens, that when persons in these walks become materialists, they become turbulent subjects and bad men. – Hugh Miller • The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom. For in all the states of created beings capable of law, where there is no law, there is no freedom. – John Locke • The English laws punish vice; the Chinese laws do more, they reward virtue. – Oliver Goldsmith • The fact that the regions of nature actually covered by known laws are few and fragmentary is concealed by the natural tendency to crowd our experience into those particular regions and to leave the others to themselves. We seek out those parts that are known and familiar and avoid those that are unknown and unfamiliar. This is simply what is called ‘Applied Science.’ – Arthur David Ritchie • The first postulate of the Principle of Uniformity, namely, that the laws of nature are invariant with time, is not peculiar to that principle or to geology, but is a common denominator of all science. In fact, instead of being an assumption or an ad hoc hypothesis, it is simply a succinct summation of the totality of all experimental and observational evidence. – M. King Hubbert • The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers. – William Shakespeare • The floating vapour is just as true an illustration of the law of gravity as the falling avalanche. – John Burroughs • The fundamental laws necessary for the mathematical treatment of a large part of physics and the whole of chemistry are thus completely known, and the difficulty lies only in the fact that application of these laws leads to equations that are too complex to be solved.- Paul Dirac • The god whom science recognizes must be a God of universal laws exclusively, a God who does a wholesale, not a retail business. He cannot accommodate his processes to the convenience of individuals. – William James • The good lawyer is not the man who has an eye to every side and angle of contingency, and qualifies all his qualifications, but who throws himself on your part so heartily, that he can get you out of a scrape. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • The good of the people is the greatest law. – Marcus Tullius Cicero • The great problem of today is, how to subject all physical phenomena to dynamical laws. With all the experimental devices, and all the mathematical appliances of this generation, the human mind has been baffled in its attempts to construct a universal science of physics. – Joseph Lovering • The greatness of nations is shown by their strict regard for human rights, rigid enforcement of the law without bias, and just administration of the affairs of life. – Mary Burnett Talbert • The law hath not been dead, though it hath slept. – William Shakespeare • The law is a sort of hocus-pocus science, that smiles in yer face while it picks yer pocket; and the glorious uncertainty of it is of mair use to the professors than the justice of it. – Charles Macklin • The law is reason, free from passion. – Aristotle • The law is this: that each of our leading conceptions-each branch of our knowledge-passes successively through three different theoretical conditions: the Theological, or fictitious: the Metaphysical, or abstract; and the Scientific, or positive. – Auguste Comte • The law of conservation of energy tells us we can’t get something for nothing, but we refuse to believe it. – Isaac Asimov • The law of heaven and earth is life for life. – Lord Byron • The law of the Conservation of Energy is already known — viz., that the sum of all the energies of the universe, actual and potential, is unchangeable. – William John Macquorn Rankine • The law of the heart is thus the same as the law of muscular tissue generally, that the energy of contraction, however measured, is a function of the length of the muscle fibre.- Ernest Starling • The law will never make a man free; it is men who have got to make the law free. – Henry David Thoreau • The law… dictated by God Himself is, of course, superior in obligation to any other. It is binding over all the globe, in all countries, and at all times. No human laws are of any validity if contrary to this.- Alexander Hamilton • The laws and conditions of the production of wealth partake of the character of physical truths. There is nothing optional or arbitrary in them … It is not so with the Distribution of Wealth. That is a matter of human institution solely. The things once there, mankind, individually or collectively, can do with them as they like. – John Stuart Mill • The laws expressing the relations between energy and matter are, however, not solely of importance in pure science. They necessarily come first in order … in the whole record of human experience, and they control, in the last resort, the rise or fall of political systems, the freedom or bondage of nations, the movements of commerce and industry, the origin of wealth and poverty, and the general physical welfare of the race. – Frederick Soddy • The laws of Coexistence;-the adaptation of structure to function; and to a certain extent the elucidation of natural affinities may be legitimately founded upon the examination of fully developed species;-But to obtain an insight into the laws of development,-the signification or bedeutung, of the parts of an animal body demands a patient examination of the successive stages of their development, in every group of Animals. – Richard Owen • The laws of light and of heat translate each other;-so do the laws of sound and colour; and so galvanism, electricity and magnetism are varied forms of this selfsame energy. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • The life of the law has not been logic; it has been experience. – Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. • The mathematicians are well acquainted with the difference between pure science, which has only to do with ideas, and the application of its laws to the use of life, in which they are constrained to submit to the imperfections of matter and the influence of accidents. – Samuel Johnson • The more laws, the less justice. – Marcus Tullius Cicero • The more numerous the laws, the more corrupt the government. – Tacitus • The natural liberty of man is to be free from any superior power on Earth, and not to be under the will or legislative authority of man, but only to have the law of nature for his rule. – Samuel Adams • The natural scientist is concerned with a particular kind of phenomena … he has to confine himself to that which is reproducible … I do not claim that the reproducible by itself is more important than the unique. But I do claim that the unique exceeds the treatment by scientific method. Indeed it is the aim of this method to find and test natural laws. – Wolfgang Pauli • The one great principle of English law is to make business for itself. – Charles Dickens • The only stable state is the one in which all men are equal before the law. – Aristotle • The power of the lawyer is in the uncertainty of the law. – Jeremy Bentham • The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this country is closely connected with this. – Albert Einstein • The principal result of my investigation is that a uniform developmental principle controls the individual elementary units of all organisms, analogous to the finding that crystals are formed by the same laws in spite of the diversity of their forms. – Theodor Schwann • The purpose of science is to develop, without prejudice or preconception of any kind, a knowledge of the facts, the laws, and the processes of nature. The even more important task of religion, on the other hand, is to develop the consciences, the ideals, and the aspirations of mankind. – Robert Andrews Millikan • The quantum hypothesis will eventually find its exact expression in certain equations which will be a more exact formulation of the law of causality. – Max Planck • The rule of law in place of force, always basic to my thinking, now takes on a new relevance in a world where, if war is to go, only law can replace it. – Roger Nash Baldwin • The State calls its own violence, law; but that of the individual, crime. – Max Stirner • The supreme task of the physicist is to arrive at those universal elementary laws from which the cosmos can be built up by pure deduction. There is no logical path to these laws; only intuition, resting on sympathetic understanding of experience, can reach them. – Albert Einstein • The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one’s time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. – H. L. Mencken • The trouble with law is lawyers. – Clarence Darrow • The true foundation of theology is to ascertain the character of God. It is by the aid of Statistics that law in the social sphere can be ascertained and codified, and certain aspects of the character of God thereby revealed. The study of statistics is thus a religious service. – Florence Nightingale • The United States is a nation of laws: badly written and randomly enforced. – Frank Zappa • The united states is subject to the scrutiny of a candid world … what the united states does, for good or for ill, continues to be watched by the international community, in particular by organizations concerned with the advancement of the rule of law and respect for human dignity. – Ruth Bader Ginsburg • The University of Cambridge, in accordance with that law of its evolution, by which, while maintaining the strictest continuity between the successive phases of its history, it adapts itself with more or less promptness to the requirements of the times, has lately instituted a course of Experimental Physics. – James Clerk Maxwell • There is a higher law than the Constitution. – William H. Seward • There is a law that man should love his neighbor as himself. In a few hundred years it should be as natural to mankind as breathing or the upright gait; but if he does not learn it he must perish. – Alfred Adler • There is but one law for all, namely that law which governs all law, the law of our Creator, the law of humanity, justice, equity – the law of nature and of nations. – Edmund Burke • There is no contradiction between effective law enforcement and respect for civil and human rights. – Dorothy Height • There is nothing that living things do that cannot be understood from the point of view that they are made of atoms acting according to the laws of physics. – Richard P. Feynman • There is nothing which Nature so clearly reveals, and upon which science so strongly insists, as the universal reign of law, absolute, universal, invariable law… Not one jot or tittle of the laws of Nature are unfulfilled. I do not believe it is possible to state this fact too strongly… Everything happens according to law, and, since law is the expression of Divine will, everything happens according to Divine will, i.e. is in some sense ordained, decreed. – Joseph LeConte • There is one kind of robber whom the law does not strike at, and who steals what is most precious to men: time. – Napoleon Bonaparte • There is so much each one of us can do to make a difference. We are at a dangerous juncture in the history of mankind. … We need to defend our principles and values, human rights, civil liberties and the rule of international law. If we don’t our world will further descend into a state of chaos. – Bianca Jagger • Till facts are grouped & called there can be no prediction. The only advantage of discovering laws is to foretell what will happen & to see bearing of scattered facts. – Charles Darwin • ‘Tis a short sight to limit our faith in laws to those of gravity, of chemistry, of botany, and so forth. Those laws do not stop where our eyes lose them, but push the same geometry and chemistry up into the invisible plane of social and rational life, so that, look where we will, in a boy’s game, or in the strifes of races, a perfect reaction, a perpetual judgment keeps watch and ward. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • To give a causal explanation of an event means to deduce a statement which describes it, using as premises of the deduction one or more universal laws, together with certain singular statements, the initial conditions … We have thus two different kinds of statement, both of which are necessary ingredients of a complete causal explanation. – Karl Popper • To unfold the secret laws and relations of those high faculties of thought by which all beyond the merely perceptive knowledge of the world and of ourselves is attained or matured, is a object which does not stand in need of commendation to a rational mind. – George Boole • Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the oftener and more steadily we reflect on them: the starry heavens above and the moral law within. – Immanuel Kant • Under what law each thing was created, and how necessary it is for it to continue under this, and how it cannot annul the strong rules that govern its lifetime. – Lucretius • Useless laws weaken the necessary laws. – Baron de Montesquieu • We must be governed by the force of law, not by the law of force. – William Sloane Coffin • We must not make a scarecrow of the law, Setting it up to fear the birds of prey, And let it keep one shape till custom make it Their perch, and not their terror. – William Shakespeare • We must reject the idea that every time a law’s broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions. – Ronald Reagan • We need safe communities that are free from methamphetamine and a federal commitment to stand next to state leadership and law enforcement in the fight against this epidemic. – Rick Larsen • What chemists took from Dalton was not new experimental laws but a new way of practicing chemistry (he himself called it the ‘new system of chemical philosophy’), and this proved so rapidly fruitful that only a few of the older chemists in France and Britain were able to resist it. – Thomas Kuhn • What I have done is to show that it is possible for the way the universe began to be determined by the laws of science. In that case, it would not be necessary to appeal to God to decide how the universe began. This doesn’t prove that there is no God, only that God is not necessary. – Stephen Hawking • When men are pure, laws are useless; when men are corrupt, laws are broken. – Benjamin Disraeli • When the severity of the law is to be softened, let pity, not bribes, be the motive. – Miguel de Cervantes • When we live without listening to the timing of things, when we live and work in twenty-four-hour shifts without rest – we are on war time, mobilized for battle. Yes, we are strong and capable people, we can work without stopping, faster and faster, electric lights making artificial day so the whole machine can labor without ceasing. But remember: No living thing lives like this. There are greater rhythms, seasons and hormonal cycles and sunsets and moonrises and great movements of seas and stars. We are part of the creation story, subject to all its laws and rhythms. – Wayne Muller • Whenever men take the law into their own hands, the loser is the law. And when the law loses, freedom languishes. – Robert Kennedy • Where there’s no law, there’s no bread. – Benjamin Franklin • Whether humanity will consciously follow the law of love, I do not know. But that need not disturb me. The law will work just as the law of gravitation works whether we accept it or not.- Mahatma Gandhi • Whether moral and social phenomena are really exceptions to the general certainty and uniformity of the course of nature; and how far the methods, by which so many of the laws of the physical world have been numbered among truths irrevocably acquired and universally assented to, can be made instrumental to the gradual formation of a similar body of received doctrine in moral and political science. – John Stuart Mill • Wise men have tried to understand our state of being, by grasping at its stars, or its arts, or its economics. But, if there is an underlying oneness of all things, it does not matter where we begin, whether with stars, or laws of supply and demand, or frogs, or Napoleon Bonaparte. One measures a circle, beginning anywhere. – Charles Fort • Without the discovery of uniformities there can be no concepts, no classifications, no formulations, no principles, no laws; and without these no science can exist. – Clyde Kluckhohn • You cannot make men good by law. – C. S. Lewis • You cannot make men good by law: and without good men you cannot have a good society. – C. S. Lewis
