Lawyers for both sides showed up last week at a Houston appeals-court hearing, which had been mandated by the Supreme Court decision, on whether Texaco should be required to put up a bond for some $10 billion while continuing to appeal the 1985 Texas judgment.

Robert Maust, vice president for student affairs, said Auclair has told him that he plans to appeal his dismissal to the administration. Once the appeal is received in writing the ouster will be stayed pending a decision, Maust said...

Granted, Clark's role is the least interesting and worst written of the three, providing no clue as to what appeal a law student could find in an alcoholic charlatan cursed with an erratic mystical power. Still, Clark seems unable to penetrate the surface level of overwrought words and emotions, and as I was sitting on a comfy mattress, the only thing keeping my snoozometer above the critical zone was Clark...
