• ... that, as a U.S. Justice Department lawyer, James A. Fowler argued before the Supreme Court in cases about water, vinegar, and light bulbs?

• Nice prose, well referenced, even if dependent on one source. Interesting cases highlighted in his career. One issue: where do lightbulbs come in? The power authority? Not entirely clear. -- Zanimum (talk) 00:18, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

• Doh! Light bulbs were the focus of United States v. General Electric Co., but you correctly point out that the article on Fowler doesn't mention light bulbs. I guess the hook needs to be trimmed back... --Orlady (talk) 04:44, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
