Everything’s fine with us at CLR headquarters. Thanks so much to those who emailed to ask. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for many people here in New York City, for whom last night’s storm was truly devastating. In fact, much of the region is a disaster zone at the moment. Everyone is a bit stunned.

This doesn’t relate to law, exactly, and I hope readers won’t find it too indulgent, but I wanted to pass on a lovely and profound reflection on last night’s events by the always valuable Walter Russell Mead. I can’t do the essay justice in a summary. Please do read it.
