1Opinion of the Court
CARNES, Circuit Judge:
Throughout his judicial career Holmes relished challenging cases. While on Massachusetts’ highest court he confessed to a friend that although none of the cases he had handled that year had been of universal interest, “there is always the pleasure of unraveling a difficulty.” 1 A decade and a half later, while on the Supreme Court, he told the same friend that he had few cases of general interest that term, but “[tjhere is always the fun of untying a knot and trying to do it in good compact form.” 2 It is a pity that Holmes did not live to see ERISA cases.
