NVILLUSTRATION Well-rounded seems like a bit of an understatement when it comes to Anthony Dunning. He’s a classically trained opera singer, successful realtor and home stager, consignment shop owner, artist and did we mention he’s a sought-after interior designer, too? “My arts background really taught me how to set a scene, but also how we relate to space in terms of an environment,” says the Ohio-born, New York-based founder of Traders Haven Design. “Running a store, I learned the importance of the relationships that you build and the integrity that you have.

Paul Clement, a former U.S. solicitor general representing Brown, argued that Corrigan made a “clear legal error” by replacing the juror because of the statement about the Holy Spirit. He pointed to people commonly praying for divine guidance.
