I also would like to give a special welcome—although I know that there are many audiences gathered around the United States, listening to these proceed- ings via the worldwide web, as well as various audiences gathered around the world—I wanted specifically to give a welcome to the audience which is currently participating from the Argentine Congress. This has become something of a tradi- tion with these webcasts. I’m reminded that this is actually the sixth webcast that is being broadcast directly into the Argentine Congress, so we’d like to give them a special welcome today.

  • A Business Lawyer's Bibliography: Books Every Dealmaker Should Read
    585 A Business Lawyer’s Bibliography: Books Every Dealmaker Should Read Robert C. Illig Introduction There exists today in America’s libraries and bookstores a superb if underappreciated resource for those interested in teaching or learning about business law. Academic historians and contemporary financial journalists have amassed a huge and varied collection of books that tell the story of how, why and for whom our modern business world operates. For those not currently on the front line of legal practice, these books offer a quick and meaningful way in. They help the reader obtain something not included in the typical three-year tour of the law school classroom—a sense of the context of our practice. Although the typical law school curriculum places an appropriately heavy emphasis on theory and doctrine, the importance of a solid grounding in context should not be underestimated. The best business lawyers provide not only legal analysis and deal execution. We offer wisdom and counsel. When we cast ourselves in the role of technocrats, as Ronald Gilson would have us do, we allow our advice to be defined downward and ultimately commoditized.1 Yet the best of us strive to be much more than legal engineers, and our advice much more than a mere commodity. When we master context, we rise to the level of counselors—purveyors of judgment, caution and insight. The question, then, for young attorneys or those who lack experience in a particular field is how best to attain the prudence and judgment that are the promise of our profession. For some, insight is gained through youthful immersion in a family business or other enterprise or experience.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2012–13 3 Introduction 5 Metropolitan Opera Board of Directors 7 2012–13 Season Repertory & Events 14 2012–13 Artist Roster 15 The Financial Results 46 Patrons Introduction The Metropolitan Opera’s 2012–13 season featured an extraordinary number of artistic highlights, earning high praise for new productions, while the company nevertheless faced new financial challenges. The Met presented seven new stagings during the 2012–13 season, including the Met premieres of Thomas Adès’s The Tempest and Donizetti’s Maria Stuarda, the second of the composer’s trilogy of Tudor operas (with the third installment planned for a future season). All seven new productions, plus five revivals, were presented in movie theaters around the world as part of the Met’s groundbreaking Live in HD series, which continued to be an important revenue source for the Met, earning $28 million. Combined earned revenue for the Met (Live in HD and box office) totaled $117.3 million. This figure was lower than anticipated as the company continued to face a flat box office, complicated by the effects of Hurricane Sandy, the aftermath of which had a negative impact of approximately $2 million. As always, the season featured the talents of the world’s leading singers, conductors, directors, designers, choreographers, and video artists. Two directors made stunning company debuts: François Girard, with his mesmerizing production of Parsifal on the occasion of Wagner’s bicentennial, and Michael Mayer, whose bold reimagining of Verdi’s Rigoletto in 1960 Las Vegas was the talk of the opera world and beyond. Robert Lepage returned to direct the highly anticipated company premiere of Thomas Adès’s The Tempest, with the composer on the podium.

    Securities and Exchange Commission Historical Society Interview with David Clapp Conducted on April 21, 2014 by William Thomas WT: This is an interview with David Clapp for the SEC Historical Society’s virtual museum and archive of the history of financial regulation. The date is April 21st, 2014, and we are at his house in Florida. I should note, before we get started, that Mr. Clapp participated in a Fireside Chat on April 28th, 2011 with Ronald Stack, moderated by Lisa Fairfax, on the issue of pay to play, and that also is available in the virtual museum and archive. Thank you very much for agreeing to speak with us. We usually start with a little bit of personal background. Where are you from, for example? DC: I was born in New York City, actually in Flushing, Long Island. I lived there until I moved to New York City about 15 years ago – and moved out on Long Island to Manhasset, Long Island, and that’s that. I went to school in Manhasset. I went to high school at the Kent School in Kent, Connecticut and I went to college at Yale. WT: What did you study there? DC: English literature. WT: And then did you go directly into your work after that? Interview with David Clapp, April 21, 2014 2 DC: Yes, I did. After I graduated – WT: What year was that? DC: 1960. After I graduated, I went to work right away at a firm where my father was connected. I didn’t go into any business, I went right to the back office and stayed in the back office for quite a while, actually several years.
