The Rule of Law & FTC: Thesis & Antithesis? Some Proposals John A. Maher* I. Introduction A. Recent Events December 17, 1980 is a remarkable date for those interested in either quality of government or, more particularly, evolution of the Federal Trade Commission's sense of the unfair.' On that day, the five Commissioners then in office2 purported to renounce Commis- sion reliance on what they apparently regarded as a non-exclusive substantive rule of decision concerning the content of their enabling 3 act's use of "unfair . .acts or practices." That renounced can be said to possess the cachet of Supreme Court approval by reason of a unanimous opinion in FTC.v. Sperry & Hutchinson Co.4 (S&H). * A.B. 1951, University of Notre Dame; LL.B. 1956, LL.M. (Trade Regulation) 1957, New York University; Professor, Dickinson School of Law. Professor Maher currently serves the Banking & Business Law Section of the Pennsylvania Bar Association as chairperson of its antitrust committee and as a member of its committee for reform and recodification of Penn- sylvania's corporation and partnership laws.

Weinberger, not a defense technocrat, managed a massive defense buildup of 1.5 trillion dollars over a four year period. A biographical approach to Weinberger illuminates Reagan’s selection, for in many ways Weinberger harkens back to an earlier type of defense manager more akin to Elihu Root than Robert McNamara; more a man of letters than technocrat.

The country’s many conflicts are interconnected and can no longer be separated by clear divisions between external and internal actors and events. Throughout 2019, the Houthis and the Government of Yemen made little headway towards either a political settlement or a conclusive military victory. In a continuation from 2018, the belligerents continued to practice economic warfare: using economic obstruction and financial tools as weapons to starve opponents of funds or materials. Profiteering from the conflict is endemic.

Statutory Interpretation-in the Classroom and in the Courtroom Richard A. Posnerf This paper continues a discussion begun in an earlier paper in this journal.1 That paper dealt primarily with the implications for statutory interpretation of the interest-group theory of legislation, recently revivified by economists; it also dealt with constitutional interpretation. This paper focuses on two topics omitted in the earlier one: the need for better instruction in legislation in the law schools and the vacuity of the standard guideposts to reading stat- utes-the "canons of construction." The topics turn out to be re- lated. The last part of the paper contains a positive proposal on how to interpret statutes. I. THE ACADEMIC STUDY OF LEGISLATION It has been almost fifty years since James Landis complained that academic lawyers did not study legislation in a scientific (i.e., rigorous, systematic) spirit,' and the situation is unchanged. There are countless studies, many of high distinction, of particular stat- utes, but they are not guided by any overall theory of legislation, and most academic lawyers, like most judges and practicing law- yers, would consider it otiose, impractical, and pretentious to try to develop one.

But these are memories that come quickly to mind in connection with a colleague whom I esteem and respect in every way and to whom this issue of THE JOURNAL OF CONTEMPORARY HEALTH LAW AND POLICY is dedicated. On December 4, 1981, Richard Posner was named to the Seventh Circuit - one of the first of seven appointments by President Ronald Reagan to our court. As the first, last, and only appointee of President Carter to the same court, I awaited this event with bated breath - and some trepidation. At that point in history, there had been enough oratory about out-of-control federal judges taking the affairs of the country into their own hands to make one wonder what was in store with the new administration. And the arrival of Dick Posner did not disappoint.
