Strategically, it is that same paradoxical logic that transforms victories into defeats if they merely persist long enough to pass their culminating point, whether by overextension or by bringing others into the fray, or both.

Always and everywhere it is the paradoxical logic of strategy that determines outcomes, whether the protagonists know of its existence or not.

Three features mark the Anglo-American system as different from all others. One is the extent to which our law is formed in litigation.
