Big Names Square Off in $457M Trade Secrets Case
The Recorder
Two powerhouse Silicon Valley attorneys kicked off a $457 million trade
secrets trial last week between a small multimedia firm and Bank of
America with a debate over an alleged "conspiracy" surrounding
licensing contracts for wireless technology. Robinson & Wood partner
Archie Robinson argued that Bank of America conspired against his
client, K.C. Multimedia, to steal computer source code. Representing
BofA, Ruby & Schofield partner Allen Ruby suggested that KCM's lawsuit
was driven by greed.

Norman Mailer likes to be photographed in a certain plush, wing-backed
chair. Richard Avedon, among others, photographed him there. This seems
to be Mailer's favorite chair, perhaps the chair he writes in. When he
was younger, though, Mailer had steamier, close-up head shots taken.
