A Book Tour for the Ages.
R
ecently I was flipping through my dad's law school yearbook (U. of Pennsylvania, Class of 1956) and came across the page devoted to a lecture series called "Booknight" that the law school ran in those days. Authors would come in and talk about their books.
The photo on the page captures quite a gathering of intellects.
Yes, that's Learned Hand, lecturing alongside Paul Freund and F.S.C. Northrop about his (Hand's) then-recent book "The Spirit of Liberty." (I'm sure Professor Clarence Morris of Penn Law was no slouch either, but I'm not familiar with him.)
Now that's what I call a book tour.
