Additional information

Author's Note: At Barry Gross's invitation, I attended the NAS conference last May, where I delivered the remarks from which this essay is adapted. The pleasure of attending that meeting, however, was marred by his absence. I came to treasure Barry for his wit, his immense civilization, his exuberance, and his gift for embracing intellectual antagonists. Barry held strong opinions about the judicial trend on which I comment here and I dedicate these remarks to his memory.
