As Anita Allen is one of the hardest working and most competent people I know, I'm sure she'll do a great job on this appointment, but I'm sorry that it will likely take some of her attention away from the law school and philosophy department at Penn, where I'm sure she'll be missed.

This is exciting news. As Anita Allen is one of the hardest working and most competent people I know, I'm sure she'll do very well at this position. I'm sure the law school and philosophy department at Penn will be sorry to have less of her time, but it seems like a great choice.
