March Madness is in full swing, complete with the obligatory first night upsets.  A couple of other favorites survived serious scares, including Villanova, which my daughter attends.  She reportedly will soon be at confession for the quality of her language in the heat of the game.  But congratulations to American, the Patriot League champion, on a terrific effort.  (Full disclosure: the Patriot League is a client of our firm.)

Usually unsuccessfully.  Some things never change, and shouldn't.
