...accepted the post after three of Elliot Richardson's first four choices declined, was offered the assignment just after ending a speech at Berkeley on the importance of faith in government. Said he later: "How could I refuse the job, having made a speech like that?" He seems an excellent nominee. He is a graduate of Harvard Law School, a distinguished member of the Eastern Establishment which sometimes makes Nixon uneasy.
