Molotov

Over at De Novo, PG some other ideas about what to do at these things. I think I can offer some more. Last night, the introduction of some semipro alcoholics from the inimitable Section Six and a bomb-throwing Socialist turned a panel/reception that had been merely boring into an unmitigated social disaster. Firm recruiters and partners launched vicious recriminations through broad, fake smiles, and more than one student launched a full-on battle of wits. But even as profanities flew, everyone maintined at least pretenses of politeness. I've never seen so many angry people smile so much. Naturally, I thought it was all fantastic.
