Blanshard and Vining

The only things the late Paul Blanshard and the very alive Joseph Vining have in common is that they are the subjects, respectively, of two new papers I have posted here and  here.  Needless to say, the former turns out to be a villain of sorts and the latter very much a jurisprudential hero -- but the supporting details are in the papers, naturally. Comments on either or both papers are most welcome.
