Arthur Allen Leff
Arthur Allen Leff (1935–1981) was a professor of law at Yale Law School who is best known for a series of articles examining whether there is such a thing as a normative law or morality. Leff answers this question in the negative and follows the consequences to their logical conclusions. He graduated from Amherst College and Harvard Law School and would also teach at the Washington University School of Law. Leff's first major work ''Economic Analysis of the Law: Some Realism About Nominalism'' is putatively a book review of Richard Posner's Economic Analysis of the Law. In actuality it is a critique of the use of any single methodology to provide normative rules for law and morality. The article is still, today, the main critique of Posner's work and economic analysis generally and is usually read in graduate seminars on Economic Analysis (though sometimes misidentified as the Legal Realist critique). Leff makes two fundamental propositions in ''Some Realism About Nominalis ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Laurel Leff
''Buried by the Times'' is a 2005 book by Laurel Leff. The book is a critical account of ''The New York Times''s coverage of Nazi atrocities against Jews that culminated in the Holocaust. It argues that the news was often buried in the back pages in part due to the view about Judaism of the paper's Jewish publisher, Arthur Hays Sulzberger. It also gives a critical look at the work of ''Times'' correspondents in Europe. The book received critical acclaim and was the recipient of the best media history book from the American Journalism Historians Association. Argument Placement of news articles The placement of news articles in a newspaper is a good indication of the importance given by the newspaper to a story. ''The Times'' consistently placed major stories about the Nazi treatment of European Jews on back pages "by the soap and shoe polish ads". Leff found that during the period September 1939 to May 1945 very few stories about Jewish victims made the ''Times'' front page. "Th ...
