As planned, and dreaded, “old” law student Holden Oliver, a WAC? co-blogger, is leaving us. He graduates, takes a bar exam, and takes his “outfit” (his term) to Europe for a year. And then? Well, he’s not sure. But the guy sure has options: journalism, law, maybe both. Some of us see him in politics. (He doesn’t.) In addition to being a fine (and fast) writer, Holden’s unusually well-read, and leading a down-East life that’s “on purpose and examined”.
The only serious Libertarian I’ve ever liked, he’s taught me, and Tom Welshonce, the real brains behind What About Clients?, much. We’re sorry, sir, that we killed you off the last couple of years on April 1. But we were insanely jealous of your easy charm with everyone, and every thing. You could be arrogant and droll and funny all at once; yet you still enriched our lives beyond our capacity to ever repay you.
