Thirty years ago today, on 1 August 1989, I defended my Ph.D. dissertation (entitled “Constitutional Interpretation”) at the University of Arizona. I was blessed to have three great scholars on my committee: Joel Feinberg (the director), Ron Milo, and Allen Buchanan. Here we are (click to increase the size of the image), outside the Social Sciences Building, immediately after the oral examination. Needless to say, this was one of the happiest days of my life.
