Justice Souter’s Class

"I wrote earlier in this column that I responded to Justice Souter’s speech with feelings of relief and joy. The relief came from seeing that this thoughtful man, a young 70, has not retreated fully into the privacy he cherishes, but was willing after all to share his wisdom. The joy came from supposing that he might keep on doing it."
I had not known that Linda Greenhouse is on the faculty at Harvard Law.
