in 1994, i was all over the place in a book!

this time, people just kinda made fun of me. but that was okay. i can take it.

The really nice woman who wrote the book is Eleanor Kerlow. She lives in Washington, D.C. (a really bad place!) and she owns the copyright, but she told me that i can post exerpts of it here. The book is called Poisoned Ivy: How Egos, Ideology, and Power Politics Almost Ruined Harvard Law School.

so, here's an excerpt from the book's index, at the back:

Dershowitz, Alan, 5, 9, 13, 172, 258-75 283, 300, 304; life story of, 265-71

...

Eisenberg, Rebccca, 70, 175-79, 180-81 190, 191, 199-202, 211-12, 217-18, 221, 224, 230-31, 244, 256, 279-80; life story of, 176

see, i'm more important than alan dershowitz!

curious about what's on page 176, the life story?well, ellie writes:

To the conservatives on the Review, Rebecca Eisenberg was a California "valley girl," a princess who whined and was intellectually a lightweight. Actually, the only thing "California" about her was that she had gone to college at Stanford, in Palo Alto, just outside of San Francisco, and had majored in psychology, a subject area not perceived as rigorous as, say, political science, history, or philosophy. In fact, she was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate who hit home runs on her LSATs.

A woman with bleached-blond hair and a gravelly voice that rose to a high pitch on certain words, Eisenberg exuded a carefree style. She rode her mountain bicycle everywhere, dressed casually, and didn't seem to study very hard. Compared to many of the other women students at the law schooI, who wore crisp, neat outfits, like those in the catalogs of L.L. Bean or Talbot's, and had a refined New England air about them, Eisenberg seemed out of place.

"I'm no fool," she would tell skeptics, and at Harvard Law School, she found that she frequently needed to remind her classmates of that. Her first year was a great disappointment for her. She saw from the cases she read, the opinions written almost exclusively by men, and the few women teachers she had, how small a voice women had in the legal profession and in the law, and how little law had anything to do with her experiences and her life. She felt that few of her peers took her seriously or considered her intelligent because she was a woman and because she was blond. She was shocked; she'd always taken pride in her accomplishments and had never considered herself an unintelligent person. She was someone to whom other people often listened.

hmmph! life story? no mention of milwaukee!
