Long-distance buses have every modern contraption--airplane seats, music, and even a copious box lunch. The women scuttle onto the bus, swaddled in layers and layers of travelling caftan; only their eyes are visible. In the more conservative southern regions women are supposedly allowed to expose only one eye, though it is often attested that they observe much more with that one eye than other people do with...
...threw it across the table at him. He kept shouting, 'Write on the map whatever you want. I no longer care!' There was complete silence. Dayan did not touch the map lying in the middle of the table; he only looked straight ahead with his one penetrating eye.

In his view, lawyers and academics, starting in the 1960s, have fallen into the habit of legislating or planning outcomes in defiance of the actual world: "Nondiscrimination became equal opportunity became affirmative action became goals became quotas became equality of outcomes." He does not say at which link he would have interrupted the chain. Mayer does argue that government's tasks are to "harness greed," to lay a deft hand on the economic...
