About me
I was graduated from Yale University in 1963 with a B.A. in economics and from the University of Virginia School of law, where I was the notes editor of the Virginia Law Review, in 1966. Following four years of active duty with the Army JAG Corps, with two tours in Korea, I entered private practice in Washington, D.C. specializing in communications law. I retired in 1996 to sail with my wife, Jeanie, on our sailboat Namaste to and in the Caribbean. In 2002, we settled in the Republic of Panama and live in a very rural area up in the mountains.
I now contribute to China Daily Mail and Opinion Forum. I have contributed to Pajamas Media and Pajamas Tatler.

Is the 1950 Korea Mess Relevant to the New Korean Mess?

Having Tested One Nuclear Device this Month, What Might North Korea Do for an Encore?
More tests, probably, in partnership with Iran. Meanwhile, the U.S. and her allies want to limit North Korea’s access to gold while increasing Iran’s access, making them even happier sellers and buyers. On January 30th, I posted an article on … Continue reading

Governor Romney, in Israel, offends “Palestinian” leaders.
They are easily offended, perhaps because they are themselves offensive. If there is anyone here who does not read Power Line, he is missing one of the best blogs around. Here is an article at today’s Power Line entitled “A … Continue reading
