Erwin Nathaniel Griswold (July 14, 1904 November 19, 1994) was an appellate attorney who argued many cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. Griswold served as Solicitor General of the United States (19671973) under Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard M. Nixon. He also served as Dean of Harvard Law School for 21 years. Several times he was considered for appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court. During a career that spanned more than six decades, he served as member of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights and as President of the American Bar Foundation. On the same day that Griswold retired as Dean and Langdell Professor of Law in 1967, President Johnson appointed him United States Solicitor General. Johnson was a Democrat, and Griswold a moderate Republican, but the bipartisan appointment was widely praised. As Solicitor General, Griswold advocated in support of Great Society legislation, and he continued on in the position under President Nixon until 1973. As Solicitor General, Griswold unsuccessfully argued against the publication of the Pentagon Papers by The New York Times, because such publication would cause a "grave and immediate danger to the security of the United States." Years later, he reversed his position in an op-ed piece in The Washington Post, writing, "I have never seen any trace of a threat to the national security from the publication" of the Pentagon Papers." The author served as Thurgood Marshall's expert witness in trials addressing the "separate but equal" issue that eventually lead to Brown v. Board of Education. In Ould Fields, New Corne you'll read about the peaks and valleys during Erwin N. Griswold's 22 years as dean of the Harvard School of Law, including his service as Thurgood Marshall's expert witness in trials addressing the "separate but equal" issue that eventually led to Brown v. Board of Education. You'll travel with him to Nelson Mandela's 1958 trial in South Africa, and argue landmark cases as solicitor general before the U.S. Supreme Court. Derived from a review found on-line: Griswold devotes the greatest details of his years as Solicitor General to a discussion of the Pentagon Papers case. He regards the 1971 Supreme Court opinion, which upheld the right of newspapers to publish the purloined Pentagon Papers, as "Undoubtedly, the most spectacular case in which I appeared." Griswold was perplexed as to why the Department of Justice was so opposed to publishing the Pentagon Papers since the reported events occurred prior to the years of the Nixon administration. Griswold believes that Nixon aide Henry Kissinger was the impetus behind the opposition. He contends that Kissinger feared that the publishing of the Pentagon Papers would reveal his influence in proposing U.S. policies during the Vietnam War as a consultant for the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. For a first-person narrative, Griswold has written an almost dispassionate account of retelling his life. Emotions are rarely, if ever, expressed. The profusion of footnotes (over 500 footnotes are spread among the thirteen chapters) adds to the impression that the book deals with cold, hard, verifiable facts and not subjective interpretations about certain personal events. Even the circumstance of his birth is reported in the context of an evidence rule: "I have no personal recollection of the event, but I feel confident about both the time and the place. Indeed, one's date of birth is one of the oldest and most firmly fixed exceptions to the hearsay rule." Overall, OULD FIELDS, NEW CORNE is an interesting book about a fascinating life. Rarely can we read a book by a living author who has written of events he has witnessed occurring in every decade of a century. Unfortunately, another hundred more years may have to pass before the opportunity arises again to read another piece of Americana spanning each decade of a century.
