<		This draft provides a sufficient summary of the facts surrounding a dispute more likely to be visible than to be enlightening, or so I had supposed when I read the coverage. It accomplishes very well one of the most important functions of a first draft: to clear away the brush and show the question around which the next draft can grow. Here we can say the questions are: What matters in this story and why? Is this about the scope of the landlord's power to exclude commercial invitees? About the basis of public accommodations civil rights protections since 1865? About spite cases? It's the next stage, where interpretive powers are applied to the material, that real improvement occurs. Fortunately, it is not difficult to make the space needed. The current 1,000 words can be reduced to a minimal description including hypertext links to the relevant documents and coverage. A well-linked paragraph of 150 words can do the entire job, I should think, leaving 850 into which to grow.

>		 What was the legal question to which Yick Wo v. Hopkins was the answer? Why is no provision of New York law cited or discussed? Why is a 1938 comment in the Berkeley law review offered as authority for the content of New York law?
