. . . 35 years ago today, when Eugene and Sasha Volokh, along with their parents, left the Soviet Union.
This led to an awesome blog, awesome academic career, and an awesome guy who has legal prowess with, and philosophical regard for, two of the most awesome things in life: free speech and guns.
Joy’s Favorite Volokh Moment, #1*—
Eugene: “We were talking about the capacity of the martini glasses, as compared with straight-sided tumblers, or what they would be if they were simply cylinders on stems.”
Joy: “Doesn’t that depend on how shallow the ‘saucer’ part is?”
Eugene: “No, it doesn’t.”
Joy: “Of course it doesn’t; how stupid of me. How can I know something in two dimensions, and not extrapolate it to three dimensions like that?”
* Not quite verbatim; I had had, after all, an apple martini.
