The Praise
Samuel Johnson had quite a compliment for John Dryden (1631-1700), the English poet, critic and dramatist known for his energy, range, heart and nearly musical style. Dryden's compositions, Johnson said, "are the effects of a vigorous genius operating upon large materials". From a book my grandfather, Dr. J. Dan Hull, gave me after retiring from Washington, D.C. life and moving back to Springfield, Missouri. The Best of Dryden, L. Bredvold, editor, xiii (Ronald Press 1933).

China Law 101 Plus.
Checking in with Dan Harris at China Law Blog, we find "How To Learn Chinese Law. Do Try This At Home". If you practice corporate law in this new world of ours, are busy, and have limited time to read legal weblogs/blawgs, please make CLB one of the four or five you religiously visit along with, say, SCOTUS, the WSJ's Law Blog and Blawg Review. Read CLB first--and WAC? way later. We can wait.
