Recommended Reading: Talk of the Sound
February 6, 2023
NOTE: There appears to have been an error in sending last week’s 2/6/23 edition of “Recommended Reading” which has me a bit baffled so at the risk of this newsletter being duplicative I am sending it now, on Sunday morning 2/12/23, and will send the actual 2/12/23 edition for this week this evening. Apologies all around.
Be sure to click link and check out the ton of original reporting in the most recent Court Reporter’s Notebook: Cases Followed by Robert Cox 2/3/23.

NOTE ON COMMENTS: Having grown tires of cleaning up garbage comments I closed comments on Talk of the Sound’s Facebook & Instagram and website (talkofthesound.com). Likewise, I do not check messages on FB & IG. I can be reached: text 914-325-4616 | twitter DM | comment/chat (paid subscribers only) at Words in Edgewise (robertcox.substack.com) but am only interested in conversations with readers on substack where everyone can follow along.
