Lord Chancellor Gardiner has a job centuries older than the Prime Minister's, a title once held by two English saints (Becket, More) and Francis Bacon, a $34,000 salary that is tops in the British government, and the unique power to simultaneously help make, execute and interpret the laws of Britain. As the government's chief legal adviser, Gardiner is a top-level Cabinet officer. As head of the legal profession, he appoints judges and Queen's Counsel (senior barristers).

...Skolnik's fault as well. Miller wrote two versions of the play and perhaps Skolnik hoped to incorporate the best of each.

...specifics. To this he must add all he can muster of history, judgment and personal wisdom-the highest kind of statesmanship. Whatever the Constitution's framers envisioned, mused Justice Robert H. Jackson, "must be divined from materials almost as enigmatic as the dreams Joseph was called upon to interpret for Pharaoh...
