That doesn't sound like the kind of thing Mr. Blackwell would write about, since he does the catty "Worst Dressed List" of celebrities every year.

Could you possibly have made an interesting Freudian slip in saying Blackwell, instead of referring to Blackstone, the author of the classic "Commentaries" on the common law? :)

Blackstone it was, not a Freudian slip, merely an aging brain lapse.
