...enough-but the Spurr affair was an eloquent reminder of recurring campus politics at Texas, the second richest (after Harvard) and fifth largest university (73,000 students) in the nation. The firing typified the style of the man who forced Chancellor Le-Maistre to do it: Regent Frank C. Erwin Jr., an ex-Democratic national committeeman and crony of Lyndon B. Johnson and former Governor John Connally. Erwin has really run the 16-campus university for more than a decade.

Damascus and Amman played reluctant hosts to smaller press contingents...

The Administration had so weak a case on wiretapping that its own Solicitor General-at the time, former Harvard Law School Dean Erwin Griswold-refused to argue it. He went so far as to tell Mitchell that his staff would not carry the appeal. It was one of the few times in history that the Solicitor General refused to argue a case before the Supreme Court, and it was a beau geste that cost...
