...debate at the A.B.A. Convention, however, was heated. Quoting from Thomas Jefferson's diary reference to "soliciting pettifoggers," Joe Stamper of Antlers, Okla., urged his fellow lawyers not to "equate legal services with soap and breakfast foods." But Roger Brosnahan, chairman of the A.B.A.'s Commission on Advertising, argued that "television advertising is not abused where it is permitted. The purpose of legal advertising is not to enhance the incomes of lawyers but to inform the public...

...game is ubiquitous. Corporations strain to invent short, arcane names. Married women have begun to resist taking their husbands' surnames. Cassius Clay becomes Muhammad Ali in midcareer.

The President's wish to stick to Jimmy as his official name perhaps ingratiated him more with the public than any other step he has taken-and may, in the end, have hinted more...
...Jefferson never intended the Declaration to be a spiritual covenant. Wills writes, even though it is precisely that function that it has served. At Gettysburg, Lincoln's "new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal" romanticized the Declaration into a new myth of the chosen people. Actually, the delegates in Philadelphia did not see themselves as citizens of the New Jerusalem. They were mainly concerned with getting out the Declaration so that the colonies, independent, could urgently negotiate some foreign aid from France...
Actually, most of Jefferson's inventions were just copied from European models. And most cost him more time and effort than they saved. The dittographer was always breaking down. The way he made his home 'convenient' left his daughter and her children roofless, living under canvas for long periods of remodeling.
