Devils in Pinstripes


The Wall Street Journal Law Blog went to see The Devil Wears Prada and found a disturbing parallel. An excerpt:

The Andy character, played by Anne Hathway, brings to mind the typically ambitious first-year associate. Andy is determined to do whatever it takes to do well at her fashion-mag job for boss Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) regardless of whether what it takes to do well has any real bearing on what she actually wants to do. She (nearly?) misses a Broadway show with her father, bags on her pals at a bar, and fails to show at her boyfriend’s birthday party — all to satisfy a boss who’s blind to the notion of a personal life.


Associates, sound familiar?
