...Implicit in the report was the new military fact that the U.S. could soon have H-bombs like "tremendously more powerful TNT'' (as Lawrence put it), to destroy limited military objectives rather than to contaminate whole provinces and nations.

He led his Yale Law School class, edited the Law Journal, won an Order of the Coif (he was Phi Beta Kappa from his home-state University of Nebraska), and is still considered by two former deans to rank among the finest students in Yale history. In private practice he was a partner...
