I am extremely indebted to my indefatigable research assistant, Daniel Johnson, for spending countless hours over his summer assisting me with this Article. I also am grateful to Monica Ortale, our research librarian, for both her assistance and her good humor while receiving certain undesired e-mails as she researched the subscription and cover price of Hustler. I appreciate the helpful comments and suggestions I received from Mary Twitchell, Jeff Rensberger, and Paul McGreal, all of whom reviewed earlier drafts of this Article, as well as from the participants at the 2002 Southeastern American Association of Law Schools Young Scholar Workshop. Finally, I would like to thank my remarkable personal editor, my wife Marcie. 807
