Attorney's Office from 1964 to 1968 and in private prac- tice (with what is now known as Chestnut & Cambronne) for 12 years until he was appointed magistrate in 1980. He retired in 1994. LORD'S SECRET HISTORY OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY I'd met him before through some political things but never really got to know him until I was hired as assistant US. attorney [1964]. I think at that time there were only six or seven assistants.Now I think there are over 100. So it was a small office. Everybody knew each other. It was like a family. He's got a great sense of humor. When he was the US. attorney and found out he'd been appointed to district judge, he called me into his office and said, "Floyd, come in here. I've got to show you something." He went behind his desk and he pulled out a couple-of-inches-thick package of the labels that are on mattresses that say,"Do Not Tear Off Under Penalty of Law." He held them out and said, "Look what I've been doing, and they've never caught me." LORD LOVED THE JOB One thing: a lot of people including myself would talk about the pressures of the job. I hadn't been a magistrate for all that long and he told me: the only pressures you have on this job are the pressures you put on yourself When Jim Rosenbaum was going to be appointed US. attorney and he went up to talk to Lord, asking him about the job, Lord told him it was the most fun he ever had without taking his clothes off can't be overstated - Miles Lord is a Minnesota legend.

Throughout his career, he's Chestnut & Cambronne inspired his clerks, assisted those before him in court and made everyone laugh.

But the bombing of the federal office building in Oklahoma City in April 1995—and the suspicion that an army veteran of the Persian Gulf War may be the perpetrator of that deadliest act of terrorism on U.S. soil—will erase forever the false notion that this threat comes from beyond our shores. Home-grown terrorists have long scarred America's landscape with guns and bombs. From our biggest metrop- olises to the heartland cities, these true believers have struck.

Russell Library for Political Research and Studies University of Georgia Libraries and Young Harris College MODERATOR: This series is hosted by a Young Harris alumnus, Bob Short, class of 1951. Today’s guest is certainly no stranger to this campus or this community. Senator Zell Miller is living proof that you can go anywhere from Young Harris College. But with all the places that he’s gone, he has never really left this institution. He remains a part of it; he remains the heart and soul of it. And it is always a pleasure and an honor to welcome him back home. I would like to tell you that at the end of the program, if you would like to purchase any of Senator Miller’s books, they’re available at the campus bookstore across the plaza. The forum this afternoon will feature approximately an hour of Mr. Short conversing with Senator Miller and asking questions. There will be time for questions and answers from the audience at the end of this portion, so please, if you have questions, hold them until then. Finally, I would like to invite you all back to the Thursday, November 2nd conversation with former Governor Joe Frank Harris, and the Thursday, November 16th conversation with former Governor Roy Barnes. Both sessions will be held in the Wilson Lecture Hall in the Goolsby Center, and both will start at 3:15 pm.
