I have know Walter Blair for too many years. It was only a matter of time. What goes around comes around.

Forgive the misspelling of Mr. Pollock’s name that I just caught.

I recall reading a rather unflattering art review of a painting by Jackson Pollack that began with the phrase “Some painters have talent, while others use “shock” as the medium.” The reviewer was spectacularly wrong in that case, but the point still stands. I do not know Walter Blair, but I have seen attorneys attempt to use shock tactics similar to these in an effort to deflect charges of wrong doing. I find they usually backfire magnificently, and are but a precursor to a very public fall from grace. So be it. In my experience, the brighter and louder the skyrocket the faster and harder it falls to earth.
