In Washington, his favorite relaxations are dinner parties and watching the Washington Redskins; in his otherwise spartan law chambers, he has an autographed picture of Running Back Larry Brown. Powell also likes to go duck and quail hunting. At night his wife of 42 years, Josephine, sometimes reads histories, biographies...
