Yellow Shirts

Is Falun Gong-fest this week? Everywhere I try to go, I have to cut through a mass of people wearing bright yellow shirts. Sometimes carrying signs. It's not quite as bad as umbrellas, but is this a week-long call for attention to the dictatorial ways of the Chinese government?

Do their signs say "Vive Lance"?

They were handing out flyers all over the place yesterday. I tried to avoid them as much as possible. In fact, I'd rather deal with the Hare Krishna who have also been roaming around recently.

I'm trying to figure out their deal. They make it sound like basically a type of yoga/tai chi, but that the chinese gov't is prosecuting them like the Germans the Jews. Not that I trust the commies in China, but surely something more is going on there. The pamphlets, which were thrust at me by at least 4 people at lunch, did not educate me beyond the five poses of Falun (or something)

I've heard similar things but get the feeling that they're a bit more cultish than the yoga/tai chi exercises that they seem to act out en masse.

I want to venture and say that they're the Far East version of the Scientologists, but then I might get a death threat from their lawyers from from L. Ron's ghost.

Commuter tax

As expected, the suit has been filed.

Are you sure you're not a man? This was very fast and wholly unsatisfying:

Given the dearth of any other comments and/or commentary, is there anyone that can provide information in response to my request for information on Telecom jobs? Also, can anyone provide a reference to a good headhunter? I know Susan Belardi is gone, so is there anyone else that is good???

Someone has gotta know something.

Given how well the D.C. government has run Camelot, I'm certain that we can expect a classy, well-run establishment.

Antitrust news

From legaltimes.com . . .

Both suggest possibilities of hiring, although moving to Belgium might not be first on anyone's list of destinations.

NO WAFFLING ON BELGIUM

Arnold & Porter is taking another leap across the pond, with plans to open a Brussels office at summer's end. Led by antitrust lawyer Marleen Van Kerckhove, the new outpost "will dramatically strengthen our European competition team," says William Baer, head of the D.C. antitrust group. The office will kick off with about a half-dozen lawyers. "We had been considering this for a long time," adds Baer, who will spend time in Belgium helping to establish the firm's second European branch. A&P set up shop in London in 1997.

— Lily Henning

PAUL, WEISS GETS COMPETITIVE

It's official: Outgoing Federal Trade Commission Bureau of Competition Director Joseph Simons has joined the D.C. office of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison. The addition of Simons, who was a partner at Clifford Chance before he moved to the FTC in 2001, marks a bid by Paul, Weiss to expand its 20-lawyer D.C. office. "We expect to attract additional people, associates, and partners, and have a major antitrust practice in Washington," says Paul, Weiss chairman Alfred Youngwood. Simons says he considered rejoining Clifford Chance, which he describes as a "wonderful" firm, but was attracted by the opportunity to build a practice at Paul, Weiss.
