“True, we [lawyers] build no bridges. We raise no towers. We construct no engines. We paint no pictures - unless as amateurs for our own principal amusement. There is little of all that we do which the eye of man can see. But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”
--John W. Davis, founder of Davis Polk & Wardwell
Is that true? I never would have guessed. He looks so much older than me.
Best.
Tournament.
Ever.
Full stop.
BTW, the UMBC Athletics account was gold over the weekend.

Free low quality tournament analysis right here:
South: the most exciting bracket turns into a huge gift for Kentucky. Their path to a final four: Davidson, Buffalo, Kansas St, Loyola/Nevada. Arrgh, not a looker in the bunch.
Kentucky/Kansas St. There's nothing special about KState. Kentucky rolls.
Nevada/Loyola. Loyola has been very good, but their run ends here. Wolfpack doesn't need a dramatic comeback this time.
West: the basketball gods are almost as kind to Gonzaga as they are to Kentucky.
Gonzaga/FSU. FSU is the type of team that can beat anyone once. They done used their win up. They will go down hard to the Zags.
Michigan/Texas A&M. Wolverines haven't played a good game yet, but they dodged the UNC bullet and will advance to the elite 8.
East: As close to chalk as you can get in 2018.
Villanova/West Virginia. This is the #1 game of the round of 16. Both teams are highly entertaining. Both are very good. Can Nova's skill beat WVU's toughness? Yes, yes it can. Wildcats advance.
Texas Tech/Purdue. The little 2/3's that nobody believed in both reached the sweet 16. I still don't believe in Tech. Purdue in a close one.
Midwest: CBS praying for a Duke/Kansas game. The only shot at a marquee match up until the final four.
KU/Clemson. Tigers a speed bump on Kansas' path. Jayhawks roll.
Duke/Syracuse. They only played once this year, and Duke rolled 60-44. The Orange feel different now, but Duke/Kansas was meant to be. Duke wins a close one.
So....yes, I predict that the upsets are over. Time for chalk to take over.
