That night, as We sat there, we went through the arguments for and against
my staying at Arnold & Porter. The firm was attractive in many Ways. The
people there were pleasant, the fimancial security Was reassuring. There was
an appealing level of chaos, which gave me the flexibility to follow my own
interests. And they genuinely supported pro bono* work, up to a hmit. “Hf he
were alive, my father would advise me to stay. These are first-rate laWyers, and
they value your work,′ he would say.”
“He'sbeen ( B ) fora while,” Susan replied. “Who knows how his
views would have evolved in this crazy decade? You know he didn '{t care
about money.” She reminded me that his partner used to complain that he
didn't charge his clients enough. “Yourfather's( C ) tomaking money was
something 1 liked about him,” she added.
