...Seventh Circuit’s decision and side with the shareholders—which could hold symbolic meaning—the implications of the case are limited because the law is only applicable to mutual funds, said Coates and Ramseyer. The case also sparked an extremely rare disagreement between Easterbrook and Judge Richard A. Posner, who typically vote together, according to Ramseyer. Easterbrook sided with the majority, saying that fee levels should be determined by the market, while Posner—who wrote a dissent—argued that compensation has become excessive and the courts should intervene. According...
...have great talents. You should think about joining the faculty." He recalls Obama saying, "That's not who I am. I want to try politics." Their arrangement: Obama was to become a senior lecturer, a title that put him on the same tier with accomplished attorneys like Frank Easterbrook and Richard Posner, both of whom had become federal judges. The promotion provided Obama with a larger office and a salary higher than that of most other senior lecturers. It became a platform for him to plot his bigger moves - including eventually leaving academe entirely for politics...
...know, for instance, that it's not mold or mildew in the counties that have a lot of rain?" says Vanderbilt University geneticist Pat Levitt. How do you know, for that matter, that as counties get more cable access, they don't also get more pediatricians scanning for autism? Easterbrook, although intrigued by the study, concedes that it could be indoor-air quality rather than television that exerts an influence. Moreover, says Drexel University epidemiologist Craig Newschaffer: "They ignore the reasonable body of evidence that suggests that the pathologic process behind autism probably starts in the womb...

The piece cited an as yet unpublished study from Cornell University, although not from its medical school.

That there was no medical research to support the idea didn't faze him. Nor was he deterred by the fact that there are no reliable large...

How do you know, for that matter, that as counties get more cable access, they don't also get more pediatricians scanning for autism? Easterbrook, though intrigued by the study, concedes that it could be indoor air quality rather than television that has a bearing on the development of autism. On a more biological level there's this problem, says Drexel Univeristy epidemiologist Craig Newschaffer: "They ignore the reasonable body of evidence that suggest that...
