My new column at the Times (U.K.) Online is on last week's Mississippi Katrina insurance verdict. (Walter Olson, "Insurers can breathe easier over Katrina lawsuits", Aug. 30). Concluding paragraph:

Major coverage issues remain to be resolved (and appealed), but at least we can take note at this point that America is not Zimbabwe or Bolivia. As Dickie Scruggs said before the Leonard ruling, "If you win it, it's a huge win. If you lose it, you spin it the best way you can."

Also, I was a guest last evening (6:30 p.m. Eastern) on Marc Bernier's high-rated radio show, "The Talk of Florida" to discuss the article (cross-posted from Overlawyered).
