When Mr. Marshall Died

Hopefully, we all have teachers who have had a real impact on our lives. The kind of teacher you knew at the time was special, and which time has not diminished the reputation.

Mr. Marshall was such a teacher.

He was one of a handful of my Important Teachers, yet I never really talked with him. Only later did I find I was not alone in this. He was the most distant of my mentors, yet I can still regale you with his stories of history.

Today, while searching for something else, I was reminded that Mr. Marshall is dead. He is still missed.

When Size Doesn't Matter

An unnamed (to save his children further embarrassment) doctor who had been convicted of indecent exposure, has lost his appeal. His lawyer (named Dick, of course) claimed the defendant's 2.8 inch pee-pee was too small to be seen by the arresting officer. In a 30 page decision, the three judge panel unanimously disagreed and upheld the conviction.

The bottom line: This is a case that could be described as de minimis, a legal term defined by Black's Law Dictionary as "1. Trifling, minimal. 2. (Of a fact or thing) so insignificant that a court may overlook it in deciding an issue or case."

Martin Bashir's Boner

Martin Bashir, co-anchor of ABC's Nightline has apologized for this remark, made at an event sponsored by the Asian American Journalists Association:

"I'm happy to be in the midst of so many Asian babes," he said onstage, with his 20/20 colleague Juju Chang nearby. "In fact, I'm happy that the podium covers me from the waist down." He then noted that a speech should be "like a dress on a beautiful woman -- long enough to cover the important parts and short enough to keep your interest -- like my colleague Juju's."
