Dear all,

今天(100603)早上在Chicago Midway Airport的報攤,看到芝加哥論壇報(Chicago
Tribune)與芝加哥太陽報(Chicago Sun Times)的頭條新聞皆為
:Chicago小熊隊(Cubs)於星期日以五比一擊敗Atlnata Braves,且以三勝二敗淘汰
Braves(see http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/ps/y2003/home.jsp?view=chc_atl) ,將與Florida的Marlins(以三勝一敗淘汰舊金山Giants)爭奪美國職
棒國家聯盟(National League)冠軍,勝者將與美國聯盟(American League)冠軍角
逐世界大賽(World Series)冠軍

好樣的,Chicago(see http://egov.cityofchicago.org/city/webportal/home.do)

分享勝利的喜悅,登上ATA的飛機,我返回費城,結束這六天的Chicago之旅



趁著Call Back假期,上禮拜三,我搭ATA飛機(來回票:$197)前往Chicago,拜訪
在University of Chicago(簡稱 U of C) Law School唸書的朋友,感謝二位熱情招待,製作可口佳餚如螞蟻上樹,翠玉牛喃等,展現海外留學生驚人的求生廚藝,使我不致於在這有Windy City之稱的Chicago挨餓受凍(這幾天溫度為攝氏十度左右)

100103中午,抵達Midway Airport,到處可見歡迎標語"We're Glad You're Here!"
(see http://www.chicago.il.org/SERVICES/CWGYH.HTM) ,是的,我來了,我看到了,六天Chicago之旅開始了

下午,到U of C Law School(http://www.law.uchicago.edu/)參觀,並旁聽Prof. Richard Epstein(see http://www.law.uchicago.edu/faculty/epstein/)的 "Labor Law",他講得好快,不過相當帥氣有活力.我喜歡他

100203 上午,參觀U of C(see http://www.uchicago.edu/) campus(see photo4),下午則參觀全世界第一大律師事務所Baker & McKenzie(see http://www.bakernet.com/BakerNet/default.htm),搭起總部與Taipei Office associates友誼的橋樑,從39樓鳥瞰Grand Park及Michigan Lake相當壯麗,接下來到第一個給我LL.M.入學許可的Northwestern University Law School
(http://www.law.northwestern.edu/),剛好看到這學期從Georgetown Law School挖角過來的三民主義巡迴叫獸在誤人子弟法學院左手邊就是去年全美MBA No1的Kellogg Business School(see http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/) ;右手邊則是美國律師公會(ABA, see http://www.abanet.org/)

100303全天,我再到U of C Law School聽課,霧裡看花

100403全天,我到Chicago downtown走馬看花

100503上午,我到U of C Law School D’Angelo Library看書,下午,再到Chicago downtown走馬看花

100603 清晨,告別了收容我六天的城堡

Best,
