<		First, old memories visit the law student. With his mother at her office, he’s bored. A man offers to shake his hand. They shake. After, the man offers the law student a piece of candy. The law student’s mother explains: “He’s a partner.” This is the law student’s earliest memory of that word. When the law student hears the word again—this time in its general usage—he experiences the disorientation common to learning children: “Partner” means “man with authority and a distant affect.” How can it also mean “companion”?

 Second, before the law student began practicing law studentry, he was a teacher. He taught high school history. His curriculum contained a lesson about a Supreme Court case, Brown v.

He would ask: “Why, at this school, are the only white people teachers?”
