FROM his first days as a young member of the Yale law faculty, his lust for fame was in evidence. He belonged to an elite club of profs there who played a game which amounted to counting the number of times each participant was mentioned in the press on a given week. While serving on the Court, he spent much of his time at the White House, advising Johnson just as he had done before becoming a justice.
