“Even an activity which has been taking place
for decades can be challenged.”

This is my last column and I’ll miss
writing them. Not really! It is
difficult to come up with something
to base a column on each month.
Among the gems of wisdom I remember is
from the late Jeremiah Courtney, AMA’s
general counsel many years ago. He said that
conventional wisdom has it that to show
someone how short a month is, commit him to
making a large monthly payment on
something. Jeremiah also said that
conventional wisdom was wrong, and that if
one is to really show someone how short a
month is, commit him to writing a monthly
column.
