...better-known liberal on the list is Elliot Richardson of Massachusetts, who resigned as Attorney General last year rather than carry out Nixon's order to fire Archibald Cox as Watergate prosecutor. In the past, Ford has spoken favorably of Richardson's abilities; he would give the Administration solid ties with liberal and moderate Republicans and add to Ford's image of moral integrity. But many Republican leaders, particularly in the South and Midwest, regard him as too liberal...
...Long Goodbye is another Raymond Chandler-Philip Marlow thriller that was turned into a movie, this one starring Elliot Gould and Nina van Pallandt.

...State Department came up with a compromise in 1970. Then Under Secretary of State Elliot Richardson proposed that all coastal nations be allowed to extend control of offshore waters to a depth of 650 ft. Seaward from that point, they might develop undersea oil or ore reserves, but only as "trustees" for a so-called seabed authority representing the international community, which would reap up to 50% of the profits from deep-sea exploitation...
