...There are a lot of different ways I come to "know" things. I got a call today from friends of mine in Mexico. They have a friend whose daughter is away at camp, and had an accident in which her hand was severed.

After hearing a demo tape, Nick Raphael, the managing director of Epic in the U.K., raced to sign them...
...While the attorneys were primarily responsible for brilliantly shepherding the case to the Supreme Court, a vital part of the case hinged on actions Heller took on his own. On the advice of his friend and attorney Dane Van Breichenruchardt, Heller had gone to a police station to attempt to register a handgun.
