Lovers of problem solving, they are apt to play chess at lunch or doodle in algebra over cocktails, speak an esoteric language that some suspect is just their way of mystifying outsiders. Deeply concerned about logic and sensitive...
...East's elegant reasoning: "The Fifth Amendment guarantees that private property shall not be taken for a public use without just compensation."
