His friends know him as a man who knows how to find a grin even when everybody else is looking kind of grim. &quot;I subscribe to the theory that a wry sense of humor is the best way to cut the mustard&quot;...he says. <br /><br /> His heros are The Lone Ranger, Mickey Mantle, Sherlock Holmes, and... almost every firefighter he’s ever met...&quot;they always know what to do&quot; he says.<br /> Charles is passionate about books, wine, Broadway, travel, hiking, history, mysteries, politics, physics, Damon Runyon, The New York Yankees, and The New York Rangers. (He claims the Czech hockey players have the prettiest girlfriends.) <br /><br /> Charles is not a patient man. When the elevator at his West Side Manhattan condo doesn’t arrive within a few seconds of pushing the button, he’s inclined to run up the eleven flights of stairs to his apartment instead of waiting. <br /><br /> He’s one of the nation’s most famous lawyers, but Charles says, &quot;Most lawyers are jerks. Trial lawyers are fun. But most of the others are as exciting as broccoli. You know when a guy went to law school because he interrupts you before you even finish saying hello.&quot; <br /><br /> Charles Binder is smart, a little cynical, fast, polished, determined, empathetic...and fun.</p> http://airamerica.com/charlesbinder/node/1#comments Fri, 04 Jan 2008 19:25:47 -0500 The Charles Binder Program 71609 at http://airamerica.com
