I am a retired newspaper reporter and editor; graduated from New York University's Stern School(public relations) in 1964. Served three years in the US Army (Germany and Colorado)in Public Information (1954-57.) Currently Adjutant at the Robert F. Garrison Post 3350, Veterans of Foreign Wars in East Rockaway, New York. I'm new to all this ... found hubpages and have been publishing my old newspaper columns there but I'm illiterate when it comes to computer jargon.

The venerable American Bar Association has just posted a 2007 "Lawyer of the Year" daily double. It's hard to believe, but a magazine the ABA publishes chose Gonzo, otherwise known as former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, for this great honor despite the incredibly poor performance that led to his resignation. The magazine compounded its inexplicable selection by jumping the gun to prematurely announce the second half of the double: 2008 Lawyer of the Year will be (waterboarding's not torture) Michael Mukasey, Gonzo's' successor as the nation's top lawyer.
If that's not startling enough, consider the competition. Among those nominated for the big prize were Monica M. Goodling, a former top Gonzo aide, who quit in April after testifying before Congress, and I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Dick Cheney's former chief of staff who was convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice in the probe into the leaked identity of former CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson. Perhaps as an afterthought, U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, the top prosecutor in the Libby case, somehow was nominated.
Edward A. Adams, the journal's editor and publisher, acknowledges that the awards "do not necessarily reflect the official policy of the ABA," according to the AP. Really?
