Even his sharpest critics compliment him on his friendly demeanor. He is also a man of accomplishment; he rose from humble beginnings to graduate from Harvard Law School and become a judge in Texas. He is a faithful advocate; he has served George W. Bush as a loyal legal counselor. Reading Books... Here to Stay? | by Donna Karlin A few weeks ago when in California for the Conversation Among Masters Conference we spoke about publishing books, how many books are indeed published every year, and what the future of print books looks like, especially in the day of the Internet, blogs and audio. When is it Appropriate to Celebrate? | by Brian Reich I fly several times a month for work. This week I flew from Boston to Los Angeles and back, via New York/Connecticut. Next week I will fly from Boston to Austin, then on to San Francisco and back.

I have seen the best and the worst of the airline industry.
