As Ruth Bader Ginsburg lies in state at the Supreme Court, she is remembered for inspiring many hundreds of people who worked for her over her long and illustrious career. Interesting, known for the clarity and strength of her written opinions and dissents, when asked in a 2016 interview, which teachers inspired her, she named Vladimir Nabokov at Cornell, who “…changed the way I read and the way I write. Words could paint pictures, I learned from him. Choosing the right word, he illustrated,
could make an enormous difference in conveying an image or an idea.”
Wise advice for our world to remember when you …

(possibly annoying) exhortation to sellers and presenters to “Make What You Say Pay!”
RIP, Notorious RBG.
