Willie Brown
Former Mayor of San Francisco
I started getting cases dismissed on the basis of selective prosecution. One of the first times anybody ever used that, I think. And that was very exciting for me, and it was one of the steps that I could tell you that turned what was my job into a magical set of circumstances. Because the word spread throughout the hooker community: "There's a guy down there on Sutter Street who has come up with something that keeps us out of jail. Gets our cases dismissed." And it was fun to watch the delight on these peoples' faces, particularly when they could pay you a hundred bucks in cash, offer you something in trade, in return for having represented them. It was like magic, and I loved it.

Susan Butcher
Champion Dog-Sled Racer
From the first moment that I landed in Alaska, I felt at home for the first time in my life. So there really is something -- and I don't want to become mystical about this, but it's something that I don't completely understand -- which is that there was this person born in me that absolutely should have been born in Alaska, or should have been born fifty years before or one hundred years before, where I could have been a pioneer. That's all there is to it. I was born with the pioneering spirit.
