Daily Diary

Source of Confucian

Paul Weiss Rifkind Wharton & Garrison was on a party footing this week, wishing anyone whose email address it could get hold of a very happy Chinese New Year, which this year fell on 18 February.

The famously happy-clappy Manhattan mirth-magnet celebrated the occasion with a charming e-greeting depicting, as you would expect, a brace of flying pigs soaring majestically through the air – in fact, the kind of ‘blue sky’ typically associated with madcap ideas like, well, this one.

Of course, the big day marked the transition from 2006’s Year of the Dog into the Year of the Pig – although nowhere in The Diary’s own Confucian calendar does it specify porkers of the airborne variety.

The Diary is already looking forward to 2008 – which is, of course, the Year of the Cynical Corporate Lawyer Finally Getting Some Action In China After All That Shameless Toadying.
