    361 INTERVIEW OF WILLIAM B. NABORS by Howard P. Willens and Deanne C. Siemer March 30, 1995 Willens: William Nabors is the Chief Executive Officer of the Office of the Mayor in the Municipality of Tinian. He is a lawyer of distinction and many years of service in the Trust Territory, with the Marianas District Legislature, and a variety of other capacities. He has agreed to be interviewed by us in connection with our historical project. Bill, thank you very much. Would you begin by giving us some background information about where you grew up and your education? Nabors: Thanks. I grew up in a little town called Talledega, Alabama, and did my undergraduate work at Talledega College and subsequently at Harvard University and Freton, Omaha. I graduated and took the bar examination in Nebraska in 1959. Willens: Your law school was at University of Nebraska? Nabors: No, Freton. Willens: Freton. Nabors: Yes. And I became a member of that bar and have been a memberinactive memberfor a number of years. I went to work for the Department of the Interior early on and, in 1963 an opportunity presented itself that I could come to Saipan as an Assistant Attorney General and prosecutor. And I came out November 9, 1963 to Saipan. That was just as the Navy had turned over the Trust Territory to the Department of the Interior. The Trust Territory government was headquartered in Guam at that time. Willens: It was still headquartered in Guam when you came over in 1963? Nabors: Yes. And when we came to Saipan, we inherited all the naval facilities, the naval commissaries.

    Remarks of Elvis J. Stahr President, Indiana University Introduction of Dr. Erwin D. Canham Clowes Hall, Indianapolis April 11, 1966 - 8 p.m. Ladies and Gentlemen: I have experienced few platform privileges which have given me as much pleasure and pride as the opportunity to introduce this evening to the capital city of my adopted state, my distinguished friend, Erwin Canham. Our one-time Hoosier humorist, Abe Martin, observed that "a friend that ain't in need is a friend indeed." Dr. Canham "ain't in need." In fact, the size of this audience indicates he ain't even in need of an introduction' There are, however, a few sequestered facts about him that the long coupling of his name with the Christian Science Monitor may have obscured, though I disclose them with no thought that a career of such eminence requires enhancement from the details of its making. Erwin Canham was born in Auburn, Maine, and chose the vocation of his father in preference to the traditional call of his state to the sea. A graduate of Bates College and Oxford University (where like me he was a Rhodes Scholar but where he preceded me by exactly ten years) Dr. Canham has since acquired 21 additional degrees--the kind that take long years and extra- ordinary work and service to acquire--21 honorary degrees' The only one of these I shall mention this evening is that of Franklin College, the Alma Mater of our distinguished Governor. The Monitor enlisted Dr. Canham's services the moment he graduated from Bates and, except for the interlude at Oxford, he has been in its employ ever since--or it in his' Long a fine newspaper, the Monitor has become one of the outstanding journals of our country during Dr.

  • Right to Know Conference, University of Florida, April 2013
    “The Transparency Fix: The Right to Know in Historical Context” Right to Know Conference, University of Florida, April 2013 Mark Fenster University of Florida Law School [email protected] The related concepts of “transparency,” “freedom of information,” and “the right to know” represent an ideal that can solve widespread institutional failures of administration and democracy. Over the course of several articles, I have contextualized and historicized these ideals in order to deepen our understanding of the imperfect contemporary state, and of how we think about our desire for a better one. I have critiqued the theoretical basis of transparency as a political and legal norm,1 noted the difficulty of imposing transparency on the contemporary administrative state,2 documented the various political and social movements that have attempted to advance transparency reform,3 and offered case studies of a government entity4 and a private one5 devoted to disclosing secret state information. My overall thesis has been that transparency and the other concepts are impossible ideals to accomplish, based on certain muddy and untested assumptions, and likely not to be particular popular or workable if imposed in their strong, ideal form. 1 Fenster, “The Opacity of Transparency.” 91 IOWA LAW REVIEW 885-949 (2006). 2 Fenster, “Seeing the State: Transparency as Metaphor.” 62 ADMINISTRATIVE LAW REVIEW 617-672 (2010). 3 Fenster, “The Transparency Fix: Advocating Legal Rights and Their Alternatives in the Pursuit of a Visible State,” 73 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH LAW REVIEW ____ (forthcoming 2012). 4 Fenster, “Designing Transparency: The 9/11 Commission and Institutional Form.” 65 WASHINGTON & LEE LAW REVIEW 1239-1321 (2008).
