Wednesday? Map Day! And because we love San Angelo, Texas, so much, we have yet another map of its early years. This one by Louis Lee Farr was drafted in 1890, and shows the vicinity of modern North Chadbourne Street and 3rd Street.

“So: terror on top, horror below it, and lowest of all, the gag reflex of revulsion. My own philosophy as a sometime writer of horror fiction is to recognize these distinctions because they are sometimes useful, but to avoid any preference for one over the other on the grounds that one effect is somehow better than another. The problem with definitions is that they have a way of turning into critical tools - and this sort of criticism, which I would call criticism-by-rote, seems to me needlessly restricting and even dangerous. I recognize terror as the finest emotion (used to almost quintessential effect in Robert Wise's film The Haunting, where, as in "The Monkey's Paw," we are never allowed to see what is behind the door), and so I will try to terrorize the reader. But if I find I cannot terrify him/her, I will try to horrify; and if I find I cannot horrify, I'll go for the gross-out. I'm not proud.” - Stephen King, ‘Danse Macabre’ (1981)

If one ever ran into Blind Joe Taggart in a dark alley, the only possible protection would be to have Blind John Henry Arnold with you. According to the famous folk singer and blues artist Josh White, there was only one man on earth who was meaner than Taggart, and that was Arnold. White obviously knew what he was talking about, having been abused and kicked around by both men, as well as the even more famous Blind Lemon Jefferson. Back in the old days when blind blues virtuoso roamed the streets displaying their genius for coins, someone had to lead them around. White was perhaps the most famous of a class of ex-lead boys for blind blues singers, a form of apprenticeship that has disappeared from the modern blues scene along with performers of the class of Taggart and his ilk. Performers trying to survive in such a lifestyle can hardly be blamed for developing what can be best described as street-hardened personalities. Taggart was a fairly typical itinerant performer of the '20s, and most of the available information on him was handed down in interviews from White, who first met him when he was known as Joel Taggart in Greenville, SC. White's description of the difference between the two tyrants has become famous. Arnold was "mean, honest mean." Taggart, on the other hand, was "tricky, nasty mean. " Furthermore, he was not really blind, something that puts him in a subclass of blind blues musicians who actually had some vision available to them. Taggart had cataracts and could "see a little," according to White...

Gender Discrimination Lawsuit Against Chadbournes and its "Black Box" Decisions
Following a gender discrimination lawsuit against Sedgwicks, a female litigator has now filed suit against Chadbourne & Parke, the New York-based 300-attorney firm.
Kerrie Campbell’s lawsuit, reported by the WSJ Law Blog, is filed on behalf of Chadbourne’s 26 partners since 2013, claiming they are “routinely” underpaid and that the firm “actively retaliates against female attorneys who question the firm’s gender discrimination practices.”
The suit seeks relief for those who have been “disparately underpaid, systematically shut out of Firm leadership, demoted, de-equitized and terminated.”
Kerrie Campbell herself joined Chadbournes in 2014 from Manatt Phelps & Phillips, and claimed she ran into “conflicts” with the firm’s all-male management team who made pay decisions in a “black box” that discriminated against women.
The $100 million lawsuit follows advice she received that she would be terminated following her claimed multi million dollar billings in her specialty consumer litigation practice.
But it is routine discrimination that is the basis of the lawsuit.
For instance, according to the suit, women were awarded up to 1,000 points in the firm’s compensation system from 2013 to 2015, while male partners got up to 2,250.
The suit claims the firm’s male-dominated culture has prompted many women to leave, noting that of the non-partners who left the litigation department in 2014 and 2015, 17 of 20 were women.
Falsehoods Denied
Chadbourne has vigorously denied the claims, saying they are “riddled with falsehoods”.
Ms. Campbell says that despite expecting to bill $2 million in one year, she was awarded 500 points, while a male partner who brought in $253,000 in collections got 850 points. She says she brought in more than 20 clients and $5 million in collections in less than three years at the firm.
The gender discrimination action is heating up and the heat will be increasingly felt by Big Law as they face a climate of increasing hostility from women lawyers who are seeking the equality many believe is denied to them in the firms.
Last month’s lawsuit by Traci M Ribeiro against Sedgwicks claims there was a “male dominated culture” at the firm, which is among the 200 largest in the US. The NY Times report that Ribeiro claimed that she was the generating the third-highest revenues but was to receive a pay cut and was told that sheneeded to “learn how to behave.”
