Through a glass, darkly

I found myself, for no good reason, perusing an American legal decision by the name of Healy v The Beer Institute.

Now, the Beer Institute: that sounds too good to be true. One imagines its members hammering out solutions to difficult questions of public policy while gradually sliding underneath the table. Where the best answers are usually found, if not always remembered.

Can I join?
