A remarkable photograph.

Quite the picture.

I don't know who everyone is, and I don't know who to attribute this photograph to. It might be a NATO official photo, but it's remarkable.

Joe Biden is in the center, and next to him to his left is Conservative British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who is also the first Prime Minister of the UK of Indian descent, and the first to be a member of a non-Christian religion (Disraeli was born into the Jewish faith, but baptized in the Anglican Church at age 12). Behind Biden is Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. The woman in the right hand corner of the photo is Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

NATO has revived enormously during Biden's administration. It's expanded. You wouldn't have seen this under Donald Trump, or any other President for that matter.

Lex Anteinternet?

This blog has been around since 2009. In the very first post, we asked the question: "What the heck is this blog about?"

Our answer to the question was: "The intent of this blog is to try to explore and learn a few things about the practice of law prior to the current era. That is, prior to the internet, prior to easy roads, and the like. How did it work, how regional was it, how did lawyers perceive their roles, and how were they perceived?"

We also noted: "Part of the reason for this, quite frankly, has something to do with minor research for a very slow moving book."

All of this is still true, but the focus of the blog has changed somewhat. It now focuses on the era from 1890 to 1920 in general, rather than on the law and lawyers specifically, although that may be far from obvious. It's also become the location where we comment on anything we feel moved to comment on.

We hope you'll feel moved to comment as well. While we moderate every comment, so as to weed out Spam, we greatly appreciate the comments where they are offered, and hope to see more.

Thank you for stopping in!
