摘要：Duncan Kennedy and I entered Yale Law School in the fall of 1967, though wedidn’t meet—we both think—until our second year, when he was an establishedacademic superstar and I—wasn’t. We were both active in politics, though of differentstrains. Having been a “member,” whatever that meant, of Students for a DemocraticSociety as an undergraduate at Harvard, I continued to work with people at Yale whoopposed the Vietnam War, in a group known (not ironically) as The Resistance. Ourfocus was on actively resisting the draft. According to Laura Kalman’s history of Yaleduring our years there, Duncan was more concerned with politics within the LawSchool and its student body—foreshadowing his later concern for making the pot boil atwhatever location one found oneself (or perhaps enacting his already formed views onthat matter).
