Posted by Orin Kerr: Gerald Ford and Edward Levi: http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2006_12_24-2006_12_30.shtml#1167339248
Over at the [1]WSJ Law Blog, Peter Lattman has an excellent post recalling another important connection between Gerald Ford and the law; the appointment of the universally-respected Edward Levi as Attorney General. I was particularly interested to see [2]this speech Ford gave about Levi, which recounts two interesting tidbits: first, that Levi initially didn't want the job, and second, that the person who first recommended Levi for the AG position was Donald Rumsfeld.
