Segal is the author of a series of New York Times articles on law schools over the last year, some of which were silly and incompetent, as we noted.  He does much better, however, in this interview, largely focusing on real issues, including correctly discussing the role of U.S. News in so much of the mischief.  I did laugh, though, when the interviewer opened up by noting that as a reporter, Segal doesn't cover law or law schools.  One might have guessed as much!
