I’ve been worried that the Alan Dershowitz Show is coming to a close. After writing a bunch of posts about the allegations that Dershowitz had sex with an underage girl, I fear the story is getting stale. I mean, how many times can you invoke the image of the septuagenarian Harvard law professor romping naked on some private island? (In March, the judge threw out those “lurid” sex charges against Dershowitz.)

Thank goodness a striking new character has emerged to give the story a second wind. And a bold face name to boot: David Boies, reports Reuters.
