...Rudolph Giuliani made a cameo in an episode about bogus nonfat frozen yogurt. These 46 episodes include "The Puffy Shirt" (in which Jerry agrees to wear a flouncy pirate top on the Today show), and introduced J.

A concept frequently tossed around in legal circles is the doctrine of “chilling effects,” the notion that an unclear standard of law can discourage innovation or progress by leaving its would-be heralds unsure of their standing.
