[eDebate] another late night TV debate reference

[Hingstman, David]

John Sexton came from very modest circumstances.  He was the debate  
coach at St. Brendan's High School in Brooklyn, NY, an all-girls  
school that is now closed  He coached some of the finest policy teams  
in the country in the mid-70s, and they traveled across the country.   
It was rumored that he convinced the nuns in charge to require every  
girl at the school to cut cards as part of their homework!   He then  
went to Harvard Law School and participated in some of the events  
which are chronicled in the book "One-L."  John also started an  
extremely successful LSAT prep course that was eventually bought by  
Kaplan for several million dollars.  He clerked in the federal  
judiciary after law school, and then became a professor and later  
dean of the Law School at NYU.
