...black loose-leaf notebook that grew to 400 pages, divided into 20 categories, by the time Johnson was ready to put on the final touches. Enjoining his writers to keep it concise, Johnson ordered a dozen drafts, rewriting much of the speech in pencil on a yellow legal...
Compounding this recipe for hostility between all parties is the difficulty of assessing the legal responsibility for auto accidents.

The company at first leaned heavily on law-and textbooks, publishing some of the most famous U.S. legal treatises, such as Oliver Wendell Holmes's The Common Law. Gradually it moved into general literature, publishing Louisa May Alcott, Edward Everett Hale, Emily Dickinson and William Prescott's histories. Admiral A. T.
