1 Almost made me
want to go out and get in a fender-bender myself. We've all seen the famous Driver's Ed movies about the deadly physical and emotional consequences of auto accidents, but rarely has there been such in-depth treatment of the risk management and allocation consequences. I've read many books on insurance (and even reinsurance), but with the exception of Ostrager and Vyskocil's work, none have kept me turning the pages like Phillips and Chippendale. Look for more brilliance from this duo; the Simon and Garfunkel of the no-fault insurance literary community.
2 No-fault? It's your own dam fault if you don't buy this book
While I have long followed the work of Jerry J. Phillips, it is more than obvious to the intelligentsia that Stephen Chippendale is the powerhouse in this dynamic duo. Chippendale takes the reader on a tour de force fandango adventure in the no-fault world, it really is quite first rate. He might be a younger attorney, but that is not about to intimidate that bad boy

Quote of the Day:


It is only by risking our persons from one hour to another that we live

at all. And often enough our faith beforehand in an uncertified result
is the only thing that makes the result come true.
-- William James

All of us should treasure his Oriental wisdom and his preaching of a
Zen-like detachment, as exemplified by his constant reminder to clerks,
tellers, or others who grew excited by his presence in their banks:
"Just lie down on the floor and keep calm."
-- Robert Wilson, "John Dillinger Died for You"
