Upon reading and considering Lloyd Miller's opinion column of July 29, "When is a boat more important than a way of life?" I more fully understand why there are so many derogatory jokes about how some lawyers operate.
Years ago, as I was fuming over the disinformation given Congress about subsistence uses and lifestyles in Alaska, an acquaintance laughed, and told me "You just have to realize that 90 percent of the talk on this subject is theatrics."
Times have changed but strategies have not. And Mr. Miller is an accomplished thespian. But his pathetically melodramatic declamation so distorts reality that it deserves pity rather than praise.
